She really wanted people to use her full name, introduced herself as such, but the big bids decided she was Ali and refused to use all the syllables. Boss was a jerk but everyone else just followed along. Apparently the same thing happened to her at school but then she was Alex. Maybe now she's a Lexi still trying desperately to get someone to call her Alexandra.
I'm an Alexandra who goes by (successfully) Alexandra. I'm also an Alex, Al, Ali, depending on who you are talking to. I was also, for one month in high school, a Lexi.
