My favorite of those voices is Lexi Mae. Although I would use Alexandria or Alexandra as a full name and Lexi as a nn. Kinley is too trendy for my taste, and I've never heard of Malin so I'm not sure how to pronounce it.

Malin by a LONG shot.  Lexi and Kinley sound way too little girl-ish.  The baby eventually turns into an adult and Lexi just does not sound like someone I could take seriously.  Atleast give her options when shes older with Alexandra.

Malin Kinley would be my pick.  Lexi isn't bad as a nn for Alexis, but I don't like Lexi as a given name (this board has a strange stripper association with Alexis/Lexi FYI).  I know 2 Alexis' and both are doctors, so...no stripper thoughts here.

Alexandra Mae or Malin Kinley...or Malin OtherMiddleName. I don't think Malin and Kinley really go that well together, they are two different styles.

I am not crazy about any, to be honest, but if I had to chose I would say Lexi.  I agree with PPs about maybe choosing a formal name, like Alexis or Alexandra and then calling her Lexi.

 

Are you open to suggestions?  If yes, the names below are similar and IMO age better

Lindsay

Keeley

Kendall

Maren

Malia

Melinda

Good luck!

Malin gets my vote.  It's different and legit.

Kinley is atrociously trendy.

Lexi is fine, but not as a given name.  Alexis, Alexa, Alexandra, Alexandria with the nickname Lexi is totally fine.

Malin. It's uncommon, and pretty while still sounding mature enough to transition to adulthood.

I despise Kinley and Lexi is NMS at all. I don't even care for full versions like Alexandra, Alexa, etc...something about the X in there bugs me.

I like Malin Alexandra if you want to tie that in, but I think other middle names would sound better with Malin. Rose, Elise, Brielle, Violet, Paige, etc..

Going against the grain. I don't like the sound of Malin at all.  I like Marin a lot :)

Lexi is just fine.  I do see it much more as a nn rather than a stand alone name for sure.

I really don't mind Kinley but it's just NMS.

I do not like Kinley or Malin.

I would pick Alexis Mae or Alexa Mae and use nn Lexi.

Can't stand Kinley and I don't love Malin.

I dislike Lexi, but it's better than the other options.

I like Lexi Mae, but I agree with a post above that I would give her a little more formal and call her Lexi - Alexa, Alexia, Alexandra, Alexandria, Alexis - all allow you to call her Lexi.

Honestly I hate all of them....but if I had to chose I would say Alexa Mae (wth the nn of Lexi) or Maren Kinley (I don't know what a Malin is..it sounds like a tool or a medical instrument to me).
