I love this nickname for Alexandra, Alexa, or something along those lines! I know a girl name Lexi, and I had never heard of that name before I met her! It is a really pretty name. (:
I really liked this nickname when I first heard it, but eventually it got so popular that I got sick of it. It's like a lot of people name their daughters some Alex- name (Alexa, Alexandra, Alexis, Alexandria) just so they can give her the "cute" nickname Lexi(e). It also seems kind of childish, in comparison to the more traditional nicknames for Alex- names, like Allie, Al, and Alex.
I like the name Lexi for a teenage girl, or as a diminutive for Alexis, but I just wouldn't like that it rhymes with "sexy" therefore, I wouldn't want to use it on a kid.
I had never really heard of the name until I met a girl named Lexi. I loved it instantly! It is such a pretty name - and quite unique too. Lexie is also pretty. It's a lovely name. I wish my name could have Lexi as a nickname! (:

This is a very childish nickname. There are better ways to shorten Alexandra. Why not Alex, Allie, or Sandy?
This is my dog's name. It's a cute name but it fits a little girl (or dog) better that an middle aged woman so it isn't a name that could grow up with you.
I just like Lexi as a name not a nickname. It just sounds cool.

I use Lexi as a nickname for my longer name Alexandria and I've always liked it. It's just easy to say, and quite pretty. I've met two other Lexi's in my lifetime, one was a half-cousin and the other a girl one grade ahead of me. Both of them are very nice, so when I think of anyone named Lexi I think of nice girls.

My name is Lexi. I love it, but it does get annoying because many people use my name as a nickname for their actual name. This is frustrating at school and work because instead of using their own name they want to go by my name and want me to go by Lexi W. So if you want to name your child Lexi you should name them Lexi.
Lexi/lexie sounds like a pornstar name because it sounds too much like "sexy." Usually Lexi is used as a nickname, because it is too cutesy and childish sounding to be used as a full name. It just sounds informal, tacky and trendy all at the same time.
My name is Alexia, but I go by Lexi. It's probably not a great legal name because, I mean, it's just not a very serious name. I get called Sexy Lexi all the time in school, and I think I'll stop going by Lexi when I'm older. I just don't think you should name a girl this- it's cute and fun, but not classy or anything like that. Some people tell me that it sounds like a stage name. I don't know. It's a cool nickname though. Makes you seem fun!
Wow! I just found a page full of people who keep bashing on my name! Personally, I think it's a great name. Just because someone met a Lexi that is mean does not, by any means, give you the right to categorize the name at all. Just because it rhymes with 'sexy' does not mean it's a stripper name either. My family calls me 'sexy Lexi' and to me, it's funny. I think it's a great name for a little girl, a teenager, and adult. And if not then I could always go by my full name which is Alexis. But, I think it is a very great name that doesn't categorize everyone with the name as a 'stripper or mean girl' :)

My name is Lexi and I think there is nothing wrong about the name. Sometimes my friends call me sexy but that is fine with me.
My name is Alexandra but I go by Lexi. In 1st grade when we were learning rhyming, this boy called me sexy Lexi. This is the only bad thing I’ve ever had happen with my name. No one has ever insulted my name until I’ve seen the previous comments now. My family and friends all love it. My closest friends and my parents call me Lex.

I named my gecko this, I think this is a nice name, but someone could outgrow it easily. I think it's a wonderful nickname.
