I voted for Willow Alexandria. Willow is really growing on me but I don't really care for Alexandria. It seems like a name that people use because they don't know what else to use, kwim? If you really like it as a mn than use it, it sounds fine I just think there's other names out there that could be better.

Alexandria is the name of the town where my husband and i fell in love...so it's special to us.

I voted for Annabelle Faith but also like Faith Alexandria. The other options are not names I like nearly as well as either of these two. Also, I prefer Alexandra to Alexandria.

Ok, I know that my vote is currently not leading in the poll, but I think that Willow Alexandria is FANTASTIC!!! After reading why you are using Alexandria as a mn I like it even more. Also, I would not go with the Jasmyn or Lybeigh spellings. In fact, I would not go with Libby as a fn, I would probably do Olivia Alexandria, nn Libby. Good luck with the hunt!

Faith Alexandria - I like Alexandria a lot as a mn.... Faith is nms, very frilly and I dislike virtue names
Jasmine (or Jasmyn) Faith - I like Jasmine a lot. Jasmyn looks horrible, definately stick with proper spelling
Libby (or Lybeigh) Alexandria - I love Libby, but only as a nn for Elizabeth. I would go with Elizabeth and call her Libby for 2 reasons. 1) Libby is a bit cutesy... not sure she would want it as an adult. 2) This way, she has other options, Beth/Ella/Elizabeth/etc. for when she is older. The Lybeigh spelling is just ridiculous.
Annabelle Faith - I like Annabel a lot, and prefer this simpler spelling. Very sweet
Willow Alexandria - Willow is nms... I find it to have a low class feel.

-Nikki

ETA that i just read your reasoning for using Alexandria, and in that case I think you should DEFINATELY use it as a mn... what a nice reason.

I voted for Annabelle. Here are my comments on your names:

Faith - my second choice.
Jasmine (or Jasmyn) - Strongly dislike and Jasmyn is worse of the two.
Libby (or Lybeigh) - Please, please do not use Lybeigh! Libby is okay, I prefer as a nickname, would be my third choice.
Willow Alexandria - Ok, 4th choice. I prefer Willa

I liked Faith Alexandria, with Annabelle Faith a close second... not really crazy about the Lybeigh spelling at all... I'd pronounce that Lie(as in, "tell a lie")-Bee

well, thanks for the thoughts everyone! i'm really leaning towards Faith Alexandria, for some reason, Faith is just really doing it for me. my husband is overseas right now and if it wasn't for faith, we'd be lost without each other, so i've almost settled on that name! THANKS EVERYONE!
