[name_m]Hi[/name_m], so my name is [name_u]Alexis[/name_u] and I have fought the eternal battle of how do you spell my nickname. Is it [name_u]Lexie[/name_u], [name_u]Lexi[/name_u], or [name_f]Lexy[/name_f]? [name_f]My[/name_f] parents used [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] because you take off the first and last letter of my name and get my nickname. How would you spell Lexi/Lexie/Lexy and what are your thoughts on the spelling [name_u]Lexi[/name_u]?
it’s entirely up to your preference! i would probably spell it Lexi but all of those spellings are nice. if someone told me this was their nickname, i’d assume they spelled it Lexi

All versions are fine. The one I have most come across is [name_u]Lexi[/name_u], if you want the most expected one. I kind of like the unexpected and generally like ‘y’, just because I like the look of it - so may choose [name_f]Lexy[/name_f] if it was me. [name_u]Lexie[/name_u] is perfectly acceptable and often used as well. [name_m]Just[/name_m] choose the one you like the look of, and consider whether you want the most expected or whether you’re happy to correct people.

I’d spell it [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] as a nickname. I’ve known a [name_u]Lexie[/name_u], but she used it as a full name, and I’ve also known a [name_f]Lexy[/name_f], but she also followed your logic because her full name was spelled [name_f]Alexys[/name_f]. I also prefer the look of [name_u]Lexi[/name_u].

Thank you all so much. I’ve always spelled it [name_u]Lexi[/name_u] just because it makes the most sense, but when I was in elementary school I’d get invitations with my name spelled [name_u]Lexie[/name_u] or [name_f]Lexy[/name_f]. I was just curious to see which way you all spelled it.
If it’s your nickname, you get to choose how you want to spell it. [name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] and I was always called [name_f]Jenny[/name_f], but at some point I think in middle school I decided I wanted it spelled [name_f]Jenni[/name_f]. I still get greeting cards with “Jenny” on them, but for the most part my family spells it [name_f]Jenni[/name_f]. Except my husband’s family who still spell it Yeny or Yenny, but [name_f]English[/name_f] isn’t their first language.
