I love Lysander. Love love LOVE it. I'm not wild about Lysandra because these two names really remind me of Alexander, which I can't deal with on girls in any form. The first thing that comes to mind is Alexandra the Great, and he definately wasn't too girly.

do you mean Alexander the Great?

Alexandra was the name of a few queens, and notably Empress Alexandra, wife of the last Tzar of Russia. it's also an alternative name for Cassandra of greek mythology. i never saw it was masculine, personally.
