You'll probably see yourself as baby's protector for their entire life, but they'll also be able to look out for you. Lexie, a Greek girl's name, sums up this feeling with its meaning of “defender of men." Baby will guard your heart and your love for them and carry that love wherever they go. This sweet name is a shortened form of the regal Alexandra and Alexandria, as well as the snappier Alex and Alexa. You might recognize this particular spelling of Lexie from the hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, as Dr. Lexie Grey was the name of lead character Dr. Meredith Grey’s younger sister. Whether their protective nature leads them to pursue a career in the medical field or to care for those around them, little Lexie will find ways to make everyone they know feel safe, secure, and loved.
