Title: Use name Alexandra for boy
Post by: Medusa on August 21, 2012, 09:27:10 AM
Hi,
I'm planing to officially change my name and I'm almost sure that I want to be Alexandra
Problem is, that it must be unisex name now  :-\  According to some sources Alexandra could be rarely used also as boy name, which will be great but I will probably need to find some example of use this name for man

So I'm looking for help: Do someone of you, know, hear or read about any man named Alexandra?

Thank you

No... Alex yes, Alexandra, NO!

Alex being short for both Alexander and Alexandra.

I've not heard of Alexandra being used for a boy.

Go with what makes you happy regardless though!

Hm, I was thinking and searching and found decent solution:
Ariel Alexandra  (Ariel is unisex name, so no problem and Alexandra is surname)

What do you think about this combination ?

I was going to go with Ariel (You have the byblical lion, Ariel Rot the male singer, The Little Mermaid...)... Andrea is female in Spanish and male in italian (like Andrea Boccelli).


Danny could also be Ok if it can be used as Daniel, bur not sure... I've never thought about this one. The truth is, I'm sick of nobody ever calling me by my own name in my lifetime. english-fied versions, being always called by the diminutive version that was used for Donald Nephews in spanish speaking countries...


Nobody ever calls my by real name. Never, never never.

Ariel is also the spirit from Shakespeare's The Tempest - a great character.
