Meaning and background
The story behind Lexie
Lexie has the same established diminutive history as Lexi: it can stand for Alexandra or Alexis. The final ie gives it a familiar nickname spelling without creating a new etymology. Both forms are generally spoken as LEK-see in English. A useful profile should explain the relationship rather than attach a generic meaning of cleverness, bravery or other dog traits.
