[name]One[/name] of the criterias I look at in a name is the nuisance factor. I have a name that’s constantly mispronounced, misspelled, etc and it’s very irritating and has contributed a lot to my great dislike for the name.
[name]Alexandrie[/name] is a love of mine but I feel that it’s troublesome, it’d be misspelled a lot and constantly mistaken for [name]Alexandria[/name].
On a scale of 1-10 how much of a nuisance do you think [name]Alexandrie[/name] would be?
I don’t think it would be a problem, it’s a very different sound without the -eh ending. People often mistake my name for [name]Ottilia[/name], and I don’t mind, I just correct them in a nice manner. I really like [name]Alexandrie[/name], much more than [name]Alexandria[/name]. (I also adore so many of the names in your signature!)
[name]Every[/name] name has that a little bit. [name]Even[/name] something as basic as my name- [name]Tara[/name]. Multiple pronunciations have never really bothered me. I feel like you let people know once and it’s usually remembered.
Plus she will probably use some kind of nickname at some point which will make it much easier.
[name]Alexandrie[/name] seems more like a nn to me, but I like it better than [name]Alexandria[/name]. [name]Alessandra[/name] is my favorite version and your combo from your signature is great. So I would vote to skip [name]Alexandrie[/name] and go with [name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Averie[/name] [name]Kate[/name].
Well I get annoyed when I get called [name]Diane[/name] instead of [name]Diana[/name]. [name]Alexandrie[/name] isn’t as well known though as [name]Diana[/name], so it might be more annoying since people most likely will glance at it and think [name]Alexandria[/name]. On the other hand, the nickname [name]Alex[/name] seems inevitable and she won’t have much problem just saying I’m [name]Alex[/name], so her full name wouldn’t be an issue…
I’ll dissent and say that while lovely, the nuisance factor would be pretty high- I’d give it about a 6 of 10. I don’t think anyone would ever look at her weird and say “what an odd name,” but I do think that it would be constantly confused- not [name]Alexandra[/name], not [name]Alexandria[/name], not Alexie, [name]Alexandrie[/name]. I think she’d probably have to spell out the i-e too. It’s a beautiful name, but not one I’d really like to have.
