Simple middle name for Alexandra? + nickname clicky

KissyFishyLipsKissyFishyLips member
in December 2010 Moms

XP from the Baby Names board.

We're currently leaning toward the name Alexandra for our little girl. My mom's name is Sandra, so this would honor her in a way. 

Our last name is uncommon, two syllables, and starts with a hard C (if you want an example, it's similar in sound to Caufield - like the main character in the book The Catcher in the Rye), so I'd like to use a very simple, one-syllable middle name.

Suggestions? I don't like Grace, Rose, or Jade - just an FYI :-)

Also, we're into using nicknames, so below is a poll about that.  Thanks![Poll]

    Alexandra Jayne (that's my MN lol)

    Alexandra Joy

    Alexandra Kate (I love Kate as a middle name)

     

    p.s.- I like the "e" on Lexie because it gives it a sense of completion. I'm a little weird like that. Names that end in "i" just seem to be kind of hanging there in space. (No offense if you have a name that ends this way!)

    I am on the same page as Schick!  My first thoughts were Jane, Kate, or Anne.

    The name that popped into my head right off the bat was Anne which a lot of PP put.

    Also, I like Lexi with no e bc my name ends with an i not an ie lol

    This is what we are using, it's nice and simple.  I also really like Kate with her first name.

    What about Belle? It would make her initials ABC but if you don't mind that... I think it's cute.

    I like Kate a lot. Do you think the Kate "Caufield" combo is too abrupt and jolty?

    I like Lane, too. That's pretty.

    I've pitched Neve to DH.  Like Neve Campbell.  My grandma's name is Genevieve, which he hates, and Neve is my way of shortening it for a middle name.  But he still won't go for it.  Maybe I'll keep pushing - it's "just" a middle name...lol.

    I'm with the others about Jane and Kate. Not sure about Anne thoughwith Alexandra, having two A names together.

    Mum to W (4) and M (nearly 2)

    My 1st name is Alexa and have always been called Lexi.  My mom spelled it Lexie and I hated it so she let me take the e off when I pretty young.  Hope this helps.

    I also like Lee (or Leigh) for a middle name on girls.
