Anyway, I would agree that Alessandra doesn’t need a nickname.

My DD has a friend who was Sasha as a little girl, and now she definitely prefers Alexandra.

One of DD's bff's is Alessandra and she just goes by Alessandra. It's a beautiful name! It doesn't need a nick name if there isn't something that screams to you.

The Alessandra I knew growing up went by Sandy.

NP. I feel like my Italian professor said it was Alessa (my name is Allison and so my Italian class name was Alessandra) but that was years ago.

Alessa is the best IMO.
