Help[Opinions] Re: Emilia or Alexandra?
in reply to a message by Cristi-es
In a nicknameless world--or at least a Lexi-less world--I'd go with the stately, dignified Alexandra. Emilia is almost as grand in my eyes, but its similarity to Emily and Amelia bothers me some. I'd worry about it being constantly misheard as one or the other, a real possibility since they're both so much more popular.
Here in the real world, though, I pick Emilia.
I'm very attached to Alexandra, as it's my mother's mn, but I hate the popular nn Lexi so freakin' much that I'm afraid to use Alexandra as a first name. I can't risk even the possiblility of it devolving to Lexi, and I know I could only control it up to the point that my Alexandra started making her own choices about what she wants to be called. Emilia is lovely in full, and if a nickname is used, Em and Emmy are fine with me.
