Analeigh: It sounds way too trendy and made-up. What about Anneliese?
Delilah: Cute name. What about Delia or Della?
Anastasia: I think it's a pretty name, but a bit too matchy with Alexander
Daphne: I love Daphne!
Grace: I think it's getting popular, if that matters. I do think it sounds good with Alexander
Serena: Lovely-- maybe Selena instead, if you can't use Serena?
Other suggestions:
Miranda
Aveline
Eleanor

Helena
Katharine
Sylvie
Natalie

Ella
Annabel
Isadora

Analeigh: I love this name too but my hubby sees the first 4 letters too.
Delilah: What about Lila/Lilah, Dahlia.....
Anastasia: I do love Anastasia but it might be too matchy. Lets see what others say.
Daphne: Is actually on my short list. Alexander and Daphne, maybe.
Grace: I feel it's pretty common but it does work with your sons name. If you don't mind unisex names Grayson, nn Grace.
Serena: This one isn't really my style. I like Carina, Corina, Sabrina, or Marina.
This first name that came to my mind was Elizabeth.
I think Alexander and Elizabeth would be great together not to mention all of the nickname possibilities with Elizabeth. There was a thread that was started that was all about the many nn's of Elizabeth, you might be surprised.
Lets see Alexander and
Colette
Evangeline
Genevieve
Isadora
Josephine
Julianne
Lorelei
Leonie
Marissa
Priscilla - it has that Anastasia feel to me.
Rhiannon
Sidonie
Veronica

I love Anastasia, and it doesn't seem at all too 'matchy' with Alexander. It's a totally different name! Now if you were thinking of naming your daughter Alexandra, then I'd say, 'woah, wait a minute ...", but not with Anastasia. I say go for it!

I love the name Analeigh, like you. But, I prefer the spelling Annalie. It's pretty and the first four letters are bad at all.
I love the name Alexander :)
Annalie Grace would be so cute

Also, Annelie is a German spelling and Anneli is Finnish. I much prefer these to Analeigh as they look more classy and away from the 'kr8tiv' feel.
