[Opinions] Re: Alex
in reply to a message by Whipsmart
I like Alex. I like it for both genders, but much prefer for a boy. It's OK as a full name, but I like it the most as a nickname from Alexander, but still it's a very strong, masculine and, I'd say, youthful, name for a man. It goes well for girls on its own too. I think it isn't very girly, but not also like unfeminine, sort of sporty name, I'd say. And it doesn't have as much of this sporty feel when it is a diminutive of something, like Alexandra or Alexandria, well, maybe has a bit as a nn of Alexis.
