Alexandria is one syllable too many, in my opinion. An excessive flourish that doesn't really add to the name.Alexandra is lovely.Either nickname spelling is fine, though Ally might be pronounced akin to the word ally.

Alexandria!I've met people called: Allie, Ally, Ali, and Aly. Ali looks like a boys name and Ally looks like the word ally. Allie and Aly are more obvious. Allie is usually good but I like the look of the one-L versions, especially Aly.
