I prefer Allison to Alexandra - prefer the Allison spelling and although I do somewhat like the name, I think it's kinda overused and passe - was very popular in the 80s, lots of Allison's born in the 80s.

other possibilities: Alexis, Aleya, Alicia.

You have some great suggestions, I just wanted to add that I *love* Allison (this spelling)..it's the name we chose if Trevor had been a girl, and we will still use it if we have a girl next time around. I love the nn Allie (this is my favorite spelling).

Alicia (as suggested by pp's) is great too :)
