Alexander is rubbish name on earth and world that true facts ❤️
I love my name Alexandra Elizabeth. Most people would picture a blonde hair blue eyed but im black haired blue eyed and pale. The name has beauty to it, plus my nickame: Lexi, has the'spice I have lol im sweet amd spicy ;)
This is my name. People often spell my name without the e - Fay. I have met other Faye's the majority of them spell it with the e but some don't.
My daughter is an Alexandra, she is 6 and no one calls her Alexandra, I call her Alex, dad calls her Allie..poor child has so many names she doesn't even'turn around when I do happen'to call her Alexandra.
My name is Alexandra and I love it. It is very elegant and pretty. It also Isn't very common so it makes it very unique. I get called Alex alot and sometimes Allie. I love this name.
my name's AleKSandra... and to be honest i've ALWAYS hated it. It's just much too long and i also hate always going by Alex which sounds too much boy-like. my parents thought it would be something different to spell it with KS instead of X but I'm not really sure if that was the right decision because almost everyone spells it wrong... even my mom.
My name is Alexandra everyone calls me Alex, but i find people get it mixed up with Alexander which is the boys name (although some boys say this on purpose) overall i love the name.
my name is Alexandra and Alex for short but i dont realy like it as Alex is a more guys name and Alexandra is too long
I have a couple of friends that have the name Alexandra. I really like the name, and if Alexandra is too long, just call them Alex!
My name is Alexiel. That's what my parents called me to set me apart from the various other Alex's in my classes. I love my unique name, and the name Alexandra suits me well.
my name is alexandra and everybody calls me alex. i dont really like the name alex because every associates it with being a boys name when i know lots of girls called alex !!!
My middle name is Alexandra & I adore it! I love my given first name too & will answer to it by my family and a few close friends, but primarily go by "Alix" as a variation of my middle name. My middle name fits me very well, especially now as an adult. Alexandra is a very beautiful name & I love the meaning. Only fairly recently did I realize the history behind both variations, but "Alix" in particular as I didn't know anyone else who spelled it with an "i" as a nickname. There is a very long history of "Alexanders" on both sides of my family. Thanks to my grandmother, "Alix" with an "i" is the family tradition for the'spelling of the nickname in the female form, which I adore! As another mentioned, the'spelling came from Princess Alexandra "Alix" of Denmark, better known as Queen Alexandra of England, as my grandmother is quite the "Anglophile." I pronounce my name in either form ("Alexandra" or "Alix") differently, depending on whether I am speaking English or Swedish & respond to both. It can be confusing using my middle name here in the'states because it is not as common for people to go by their middle name in the US as in Sweden. My pet peeve is when people spell it "Alex," so I feel the compulsion to spell it I'mediately after meeting new people. It's a bit irritating but worth it to me because I AM & feel like an "Alexandra" or an "Alix," but not an Alex.
I was thinking of naming my daughter Alexandra. Does anyone have any good ideas for a middle name❤️
My name is Alexandra and no one, I'mean no one will leave it long. I can date myself to who calls me which ever end I am using at the time (Andra or Alex)
I named my 19 month old daughter Alexandra Elizabeth Ava. My husband's middle name is Alexander, his mother was Elizabeth, and his grandmother was Ava. His mother died of Alzheimer's disease 2 months after my daughter was born. And his grandmother died in childbirth right after delivering my MIL (she never knew her mother). We call her Ally for short, but I just started calling her Alexandra a couple times a day just so she will learn to respond to it. To me, the name has a royal sound to it, and being the only girl in a family with 4 boys, she is definitely the'spoiled princess! For some reason she likes to munch on cat food, so we sometimes call her Ally-cat.
I love my name Alexandra but for my nick name I have people call me Alexa and I get made fun of for that name bc of the Amazon Alexa they say what's the weather today, and other things even'though I ask them to stop. Also I hate when my teache's call me the names that I don't want to be called like Lexi, Alexis, Alexandria. Just listen'to what I tell you my name is!!! But I still love my name I feel that it is unique but not to unique where someone wouldn't have ever have heard that name before.
This is my name and I was named after my grandfather, Dale. Growing up, one of my neighbors was a girl named, Dale. I love the name because my grandfather was a strong yet very compassion'te person. Dale fits me perfectly!
this is our granddaughters name'she is 13 years old now. it is spelled Raelyn Agreat name for a special person.
This is my girlfriends name and it is one of the most beautiful names i have ever heard. Also nearly every jacqueline i have met is a very nice person. I think it is a fantastic name.!
Alexandra is the name on my birth certificate but I have NEVER been called it. To my friends I'm Lexy (or Lex), my family call me Alex or Ally, i've been called Zandra, Andie, Sandy - the wierdest one is Dra! LOTS of nickname possibilities from Alexandra - It's classic and regal but can be made funky and modern really easily. I love my name.
My best friend's name is Alexandra but everyone calls her Allie or Allie-cat! I love the name. I was thinking of naming my future daughter after her.
My name is Alexandra, and frankly I dont really like the name. Mainly because its too common these days and people are really too lazy to call you by your full name and im too lazy to call myself by my full name. Everyone just calls me Alex. Its strikes me as a name for royalty as well and that puts me off it as well.
My name is Alexandra, and i love it, but It's too long for someone as petite as I am, so i've always been called Lexy. When i get to college, I'll probably go by Alexandra. I love both Lexy and Alexandra.
My bff's name is Alexandra. Our teache's call her Alex, but she goes by Zan, Zandra, Xan, or Xandra. aleXANdra. I love this name'sOO much.
This is my mothe's name and we pronounce it ... Aleesha or Aleeseea. English or Spanish. It is not a mispronunciation. It doesn't matter. There is no CORRECT way of spelling a name is how you feel and see your baby. If your name is pronounced differently than just kindly tell people. My mother, named me Alysha. and calls me Aly or Alicita (Aleeseeta) in spanish.
My name is alexandra and i like it, ever'since i was young i love people calling me alex, but the only problem i have is that there are 5 alex's in my class
I love my name Alexandra, but when I was in school, and I was called to the office, they would always say Alexandria instead of Alexandra, and that got me really irritated.
I'm a 19 year old Alexandra and my lifelong best friend is also Alexandra! I know so many Alex's its rediculous between males and females. A little annoying. If it wasn't so pupular I'd love it!
my bffs name is alexandra but everuyone calls her aslex
Its not my name but it is where i got my daughters name from. Her Name is Zandra. I just love it.
My name is Alexandra. Yes, there are many Alexandras especially in my generation. in fact the year I was born it was on the top 10. That is not why my parents named me Alexandra though. Alexandra is the name of a Queen, but not petty ones. Strong, noble deities were given'this Greek-Orthodox-originating name because it means "protector and defender of mankind, stren'th and intelligence". However when I was a little girl my grandmother gave me the nickname Xanthe. Xanthe is not made up, it is a Greek name from mythology. Ever'since then, I have never been called "Alix", "Alex", "Allie", "Sandra", or any Alexandra derivative. It's just been Xanthe Xanthe Xanthe my whole life and everyone seems to like that unique name. However, I do NOT prefer Xanthe to Alexandra. I love my name. It is a royal hidden name that is romantic enough that only my closest family ever calls me. And every time I hear it I just fall into a daze of how I am a royal princess who's true name is only known among the royal family and is rarely solicited for her own image and sophisticated grandeur is too exquisite to be over'sed by commoners. That'sounds very snooty of me to say, but for such a dreamer as myself it is merely the way I think of it. If you are worried about the popularity of the name you could name your child Alexandra and call her'something else unique so she'still has an illustrious and highly romantic name, but she wont be mistaken for the other Alexandras out there because of her nickname. Trust me. Her name and character will still make a lasting good first impression and even non-traditionalists will recognize the ferver of a royal name. I don't mean to brag or be snootish on this matter, I'merely want to answer those who think it is too popular. Today, actually it is not quite so over'sed. ps. I am also an extreme romantic so to put things in perspective...
I used to hate my name when I was very much younger, but now I love it. I don't meet many Alexandra's around. It's a beautiful and regal name.
My name is Alexandra. I was named for Queen Alexandra of England. I use the nickname "Alix" or "Allie." "Alix" because my namesake used "Alix" and "Allie" because that particular spelling is a family name. I used to hate my name (It'seemed boring), but now that I am older (almost 27), I go by my full name because It's quite elegant, sophisticated, and it makes me feel powerful and intelligent (which helps since I'm a college professor... ha!)... not to mention that'some of the most beautiful women in the world are named Alexandra. My only gripe is that people insist on calling me "Alexandria" which makes me want to tear my hair out. That'sounds irrational, but It's NOT my name and some people are serial offenders!
My name is Alexandra and I useed to dislike it, preffering to be caled Alex. But I hate any nicknames now and I like to be called by my full name.
This is my name and I love it! It fits me very well...I have always gotten compliments on my name and is not a common name:)
this is my name, and yes people always say my name wrong and they always always seem to mispell it. i dont really come across that many people who have the'same name as me and they spell t the'same.
my sisters name is alexandra but we call her alex, the name is rather long she really doesnt know her name cause she's one yr old but I'm sure she'll love it
My daughter's name is Alexandra Elizabeth & goes by Lexi. What's funny is I had not heard that name much at all but I think there was an increase in popularity in the very late '90's & pretty early 2012 because It's very popular among her age group. I was 16 when I got pregnant, turned 17 very shortly prior to giving birth & wasn't sure if I was going to do an adoption. Obviously I didn't but because of that I hadn't even considered names. My poor daughter was called "The Baby" for 2wks while I traded ideas back & forth w/my dad, whom we live with. My name is 9 letters for each of the 3 (first, middle, last) & I wanted that to go for my daughter's name also. Why❤️ It just always seemed neat to me & I thought it would really be neat if both my daughter AND my self had that. I got to work on it & I'm not kidding when I say I worked hard to pick a name that fit all my criteria. Besides the 9 letter thing (yes she has my last name) I insisted it NOT be one of these strange things people name their kids today (not only do I see that as mean to the kid but selfish on behalf of the parents. That & I don't have the money for the potential therapy needed after years of being picked on!!!). From there I wanted it to have a good nickname & if possible, a name that had a couple of nickname choices so SHE could decide what she wanted to be called as she grew up. Another important piece was that the name, the full first name, not a nickname, be something respectful, adult, a name a professional could use (I'm not sure if I'm describing what I'mean very well). No offense to anyone but I couldn't picture "Dr.Kandy" or "Barbie Smith, Attorney at Law" (& I'mean BARBIE not what some people use for a Barbara's nickname) & other things like that. It also had to be a GIRL'S name. Personally I'm not fond of the inter'sex names. So there's the crazy amount of criteria I had for naming my daughter! I love it but you have to keep in mind I'm biased ;) From what I know, my daughter likes it as well. She does, however, hate when people call her Alex, Alexis, Alexia & other things are not her established names. Names are a big deal & as I OBVIOUSLY beli've, deserve a lot of thought & planning.
I'm an Alexandra and i've never liked it. Everyone always tells me what a beautiful name it is, but it just has never'suited me. I don't like the nickname I got stuck with either, but I'm too old (30's) to change that, too.
Wonderful name!! There is a gymnast I know named Talia and she is spectacular! The name'sounds gorgeous and is unique enough for my tastes and Isn't too strange to be pronounced in anohter rediculous way!... now im trying to get my sister to name her child that! GREAT name!
my name is alex and i dont care what other people think cause im special(ed)lol and not other people and thats the way i am
I named my daughter Aleksandra, which is the Polish spelling of the name. It gets misspelled 'Alexsandra' all the time. I tell people that, phoen'tically, the 'ks' makes the 'x' sound. I thought it was a prettier'spelling. My daughter's full name is Aleksandra Grace Elizabeth and her initials spell AGEM. It fits her because she is the first girl in two generations n my husband's side as well as the first grandchild and great-grandchild on both sides. We call her Ally and some people also call her Aleks, Leksi or Sasha. She answers to all of them. I love this name!
I have a 6 year old girl and her name is Alexandra.My husband and I loved the name and so does our daughter.We call her Alex for short or precious.This is one of the most beautiful calssic names for a girl in our view.WE LOVE IT NUFF SAID!

My only daughter is called Alexandra. I love this name because It'signifies stren'th and I really wanted by baby to be a strong person.
My sisters called Alexandra but we all call her Ali. She gets angry but It's to hard to "change our ways" and call her Alexandra...It's TOO LONG
I just named one of my twin girls Alexandra Marie. I love it. They're only 3 months old. I didn't realize that it was so popular though. I don't know anyone with the name, i've just always liked it.
My middle name is Alexandra, I like it, but It's pretty long, and I have a short first and last name.

Alexandra is a beautiful name, it will bring the girl luck in the future.. she will be a very pretty girl if she has the name of alexandra.. and as she is at a young age she will hate the name... but as you grow older you learn to realize its not that bad.. and then you learn a bit about such a beautiful name ! x
I love my name although I used to hate it for being too fussy. I like it now because its not that common. People always compliment me on my name and alot of people have said its their name of choice for a future baby.
Having spent many years in the forces, a real good friend of mine, who I'd known since I joined, was called Alexander. We eventually lost contact after the 1st Gulf War - I was also involved in a motorbike accident in which I nearly died! The helmet which ensured my survival was his - after recovery, my wife had a daughter and we named her Alexandra.....
i love it because It's my name, and because it has a beautiful sound to it!

I happen'to love my name. Alexandra is often associated with Alexandera Egypt and Alexander the Great. I think it is a very lovely name.

Alexandra is the name of my one and only grandchild aged just 7 years. It is such a beautiful name and really suits her as she will stick up for anyone who she feels is being treated unfairly. We live in the UK where this name is not very common and there is only one other girl in her'school with this name. We tend to call her Alex and she is happy with this. She also happens to love her name too.

I love this name! I think It's beautiful and I love that it can be shortened to Alex. I recently got my name legally changed to Alexandra, I prefer to be called Alex though. The reason I picked Alexandra over Alex was so that I could have the best of both names! Every Alexandra and Alex i've known have been sweet too, so I have no bad memories associated with this name.
My sister is named Alexandra, but everyone calls her Allie. The only problem with that is that our aunt spells her name wrong (Ally)
