Which one do you like more?
Usually I’m a fan of more classic names but [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] has always felt too buttoned-up for me and I’m just not a huge fan of [name_u]Alex[/name_u].
[name_u]Taylor[/name_u] is waaaay too early/mid 2000s IMO.
I am not an [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] fan, I don’t love [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] much either. But it is my favourite of the two.
i prefer alexandra but it’s really a vibe thing !! taylor feels kind of cool and modern, but also very american and a bit dated to me, while alexandra is a bit more dramatic and international. i love alexandra !
[name_u]Taylor[/name_u]!
The clear [name_u]Berry[/name_u] favourite over here would be [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], but that’s more because Berries have an immense dislike of anything remotely “dated”. I’ve never liked [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], and the nickname [name_u]Alex[/name_u] is inevitable. [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] isn’t my favourite either, but I think spelling it [name_f]Tayla[/name_f] would make it quite sweet and feminine.
Have you considered [name_f]Alessia[/name_f] or [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f]?
I like them equally - though neither stand out names for me. I like Alexandra but only in the middle spot where it doesn’t get abbreviated - I would pick it if you like one of its nicknames (Alex, Ally, Lexie, Alexa etc). Taylor is nice but it’s now very much tied to Taylor Swift and southern Belle imagery in my mind (which is fine but doesn’t resonate for me). I do like it’s “tailored” quality though. I wonder if a name that is almost half way between the two, like Haley/Hailey, Helena, Nicola or Serena could be good?
Edit: Ainsley and Alora could also be good mid point names!
I prefer Alexandra, she feels quite refreshing and rarely heard on a little girl these days whereas Taylor is both more of a boy name where I live and a bit Ms Swift in the more general sense to me. But I’d only go with Alexandra if you like at least one of the nicknames as it feels inevitable some people would try to shorten it, whereas Taylor feels more like people would use the full name.
Alexandra Taylor or Taylor Alexandra both seem like quite good combos though if you wanted to use both together.
