Comments for the name Alexa

An ancient Greek name, Alexa (f), Alexas (m).

A feminine form of the name 'Alexander' inspired by Alexander the Great. Has become very popular in recent years. It is usually said to mean "protector" or "protector of mankind".

Nice name, but soooo much better spelled Aleksa.

I love the name Alexa because it's close to my name Alexis.

I like this name so much because even if it's cleary a girls name it has some boys feeling in it.

I love the name Alexa, it's short and sweet. :)

Famous Bearer: Colombian-American actress Alexa Vega.

I think it is a cute name.

It is also the name of a ship in the song by Billy Joel "Down Eastern Alexa".

My name is Alexa and I honestly can't think of a name that I'd rather have! It gets shortened to Lex or Lexie which I think is nice too. I'm not keen when people call me Alexis by mistake though!

Love this name - short, simple and cute.

Crazy name. Never heard of it. It's the name of the internet ranking service.

My best friend's name is Alexa, and I think it's way classier than the name Alexis, which is still an awsome name.

My name is Alexa, and I personally love it. Nicknames I usually go by that are derived from it are Lex and Lexa. To me the name gives off a "nice person" tone.

Bah, I don't like the sound of this name. It sounds lazily constructed, unimaginative, and utterly bland, and it's not even pretty. There are far too many names like this anyway.

To me it brings to mind a tough, tarty, brainless blonde girl - popular, but stupid and senseless. If your name is Alexandra, choose Ally or Xandra or something else!

Very pretty - sweet yet strong.

From the name [Alexander] meaning "Protector of Mankind".

I like the way the name sounds! I prefer this name to Alexis.

I love this way for a nickname for Alexandra, better than "Alex". Alexa is for a girl and Alex is for a BOY!

I love this name! Cute nicknames would be Alex, Lexa, Lexie. I do not like the name Alexis at all, this is more cute and sounds like a friendly name!

Alexis is much better sounding. I don't like the sound of Alexa at all!

I love this, much better than Alexandra. I also like Alexia and Alexis too.

Boring. Borderline trashy porn star name.

Actually Alexa is a very classy, sweet name. Calling it a "trashy porn star" name is quite ignorant and frankly unintelligent.

I think Alexa is a great nickname for the name Alexandria/Alexandra. I only like the nickname Alex for the boys name Alexander. So I like Alexa for girls and Alex for boys.

If you were to name your daughter Alexa or Alexis and she doesn't like it, there are so many different nicknames she can use instead. This is something important to look at when deciding on a name. Personally I prefer Alexa at the moment.

I have a cousin named Alexa and we often shorten it to Lexa. She's very tall, skinny, and athletic. I think her name suits her really well.
