So what would you do?

Dh and I are struggling to pick a name for dd.  our favorite is Alexandra Kathryn - but my sister named her boy Alexander (he's 3 and lives 4 hrs away).  I asked her if she mined and she said no but I worry she secretly might.  I told her our plan would be to shorten to Ali, not Alex.  Do you think something's not quite right about us using Alexandra?  We like Alexis too but not Alexis Kathryn - not sure of a good middle name.  Third choice is briana - but again would need a new middle name I thnk.  Suggestions on that would be great too!  Thanks!
