[Opinions] Alexandra
I'm thinking of usine Alexa as a nn for Alexandra, I am so sick of the nn Lexi or Alex. So what do you think of Alexa? I think its more femine than Alex and not as popular as Lexy/ Lexi. Opinions please.Edited to change Alexandria to Alexandra.

I love Alexandra, and adore Alexa as the nickname. Alex is so boring and Lexi makes me want to hurl. Alexa is beautiful but Alexandra is better for the birth certificate.Good choice!

I like Alexa as a full name better than Alexandra

I much prefer Alexa as the nickname. It's the only nickname that I like for Alexandra. It isn't cutesy like Lexi or masculine like Alex.

I don't like Alexa all that much...it sounds trendy. I prefer Alexandra without a nn but if I had to choose one it would be Sasha. And of all the others the one I hate least is Alex...at least it sounds like a natural nn and isn't trendy.

I love the name Alexandra! It's so feminine and a timeless classic that will age well...very pretty :-)I must admit, though, that I'm not particularly fond of any nicknames for Alexandra, with the exception of Allie/Ally. Alexa doesn't do much for me, but I do agree that it's far better than Alex, which is all-boy imo. Lexi isn't my style either.

I actually prefer Alexandria. I do know an Alexandra who goes by Alexa, it's okay. I prefer Alex/Lexi/Ali.

I much prefer Alexandria. And around here, I only know of one Lexi. It's really not that popular, imo anyway. Alex is far more common on both boys and girls. I like it as a nn though, however I don't like Alexa.

I like Alexa, but can also consider the nickname Lex also.
