I want to say yes because Alexandra's been fairly popular in the past. But I also want to say no, as it's beginning to drop in the ranks and I think it's usable again. I think Alexandra's absolutely gorgeous! Here are the SSA #'s for Alexandra for the last 14 years:

Alexandra
Year rank # of kids
2003 - 38 - 6647
2002 - 38 - 7031
2001 - 37 - 7145
2000 - 36 - 7662
1999 - 31 - 8217
1998 - 28 - 7133
1997 - 28 - 9163
1996 - 25 - 10460
1995 - 25 - 10644
1994 - 25 - 10742
1993 - 26 - 11191
1992 - 28 - 10733
1991 - 37 - 9991
1990 - 36 - 9073

As you can see, Alexandra may be just a little less popular than in the past but you can also see that it's being used on far fewer babies than in the past too. I think you could safely use it and not have her one of 6 in her classes at school.
