I know, its a weird question. I'm looking to pick that for my confirmation, but I don't know if there is even a Saint Alexandra. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
Have a nice day!

Yes. The Holy Martyr St. Alexandra, was the Empress and wife of Emperor Diocletion, was so impressed by the courage and martyrdom of St George that she became a Christian and fell under the same persecution. She also was condemned to be beheaded but when she arrived at the place of execution she asked to be allowed to sit down. Her request was granted. She sat down and died quietly before the executioners could carry out their task.
Her feast day is 21 April in the East. In the West, she is celerated on the Feast day of St. Alexandra and Companions - April 20th - when faithful Christian women, Alexandra, Claudia, Euphrasia, Matrona, Juliana, Euphemia, Theodosia, Derphuta, and her sister, were martyred in Amisus in Paphlagonia. The women were burned to death in the persecution of Emperor Diocletian.

There is a Blessed Alexandrina Maria da Costa, but no Alexandra that I can find in the Roman Rite.
