Alexis is starting to grow on me. I was wondering if Alexis sounds better as a nn for Alexandra, or an independent name. I alos like Alexander for a boy, with the nn Alex. Alexis sounds feminie to me, but does it sound to childish. Caitlin is another name I love. It reflects my Irish heritage, but sounds cute, and may not fit when she would be older. These might be used as furture children's names.
