DH thinks it sounds like a stripper name. Agree or disagree?
I like Alexis Jae (pronounced Jay)
He likes Alexis Jade (which to me, sounds more like a stripper name!)

Re: Stripper name?
This, sorry.
Alexis Jae = stripper
Alexis Jade= porn star
I dont think the name "Alexis " or "Jade" are stripperish, but together they sound a bit "Jae" is a bit better...
If you made the mn a little Classier like Alexis Marie, Alexis Elisabeth or Alexis Julia, then it would even things out.
Yep.
This. I think it's the Alexis part that sounds more stipperish than the middle names. But paired together, especially with Jae, makes it sound like a stripper name.
Maybe Alexandra Jade?

I like both. Not sure how it sounds stripper to you. Alexis in the past was a boys name
UPDATE: sorry about my typo
BOTH are stripper names!
I agree with PP, that any of the "lex" names are stripper like.

Agree.
Exactly this. It's the combination of both names together. Especially since there is no last name to say with it, it sounds like Jae/Jade is the "final" name. This is the same as it would sound when scolding the child using fn and mn. Alexis by itself, or with a "classier" mn is better, but I still don't like it. And I always think of the joke, "I named my daughter Alexis, because if I wouldn't have had her, I'd be driving one." I also think of the episode of South Park where they do a spoof of Hooters and all the girls' names are after cars. Ex: Alexis, Mercedes, Porsche, Bentley, etc.
Yes.
I maybe a bad person to answer this question though. I deeply hate the name Alexis.
There was a boy in high school who called me Sexy Lexie and I HATED it. It was so embarrassing.
I think Alexis Jae sounds less stripper-y than Alexis Jade, but I think I'd probably go with another middle name.
This for me too, though Jade sounds more like a stripper then Jae.
I have a very good friend who's name is Jaie (pronounced Jay). She gets many compliments on it. Together I think they sound nice. Plus, I'm a beliver that the person makes the name not the reverse. So unless you will be raising your child in a strip club, I think you're safe
