Baby names
Alexandra has remianed a popular name for girls, and it’s easy to see why. Chic yet strong sounding, it lends itself to several equally likeable nicknames, from cutesy Lexi to boyish Alex. It’s a very common name in Russian literature and sprinkled throughout works by Dostoevsky and Chekhov. The name hit it’s popularity peak in 1993 and has been in decline since then, so if you’re looking for a non-overused name for your baby girl, this may be it.
