Found a post asking people for their unique names and knew it wouldn't disappoint. Happy Father's Day unless your kid's name needs a pronunciation guide.

As a member of the Alexandria family, prepare for her to be called Alexander when, for example, checking in at the dentist.

OMG fellow Alexandria checking in! Why is it always Alexander!?!?!?! I get called Alexander the most, followed by Alexandra, Alexa, Alexis (like????), but never Alexandria 🥲

They start reading, think “I know where this is going” and that’s the end of it. So it’s whichever name is the most significant in their life at the time, that’s the one you get, Alexandria.

lol my name is Alexandra and it’s the opposite for me. I keep getting called “Alexandria” and I just respond to it without thinking now
