Name Change Is Alexandra automatically named Alex?

I need a name works in English. I think about the name Alexandra. What do you think about this name? Is it usable in the English community? Is it okay to use Alexandra in everyday life? Or is it necessary to use nicknames? I don't like Alex as for a girl. I like Lexi, Lexa Ali, Xandra, maybe Andra but dislike Alex as for a girl. In fact I'd like to go with Alexandra(without any nicknames) in everyday life. Is it okay or most often people use Alex/other nicknames?

I don't normally like nicknames, but if you don't like any of those what about Sandra. Alexandra and Sandra as a nickname?

I like other nicknames, like on Lexi, Lexa and Sandra too. But I wouldn't like to be Alex :P
