[Opinions] Alexis on a boy (more)
Inspired by Ceri's post.What do you think of the name Alexis on a boy? And, do you think Alexis will be more popular for boys rather than girls?I think people will be tired of Alexis being popular as a feminine name and will be mostly masculine; like Charlie being mostly feminine since 2015 in the US.

In the USA Alexis is one of the three "A" names -- the others being Ariel and Angel -- which are still often used for boys by Hispanic Americans even though they are now almost all feminine in other ethnic groups. The fact that some of the Hispanic boys with these names will probably become generally famous as American celebrities within the next few years might inspire some non-Hispanic parents to start using them for boys again.

I always think of Alexis as male anyway. It's OK, but I prefer Alexander: more scope for nns.

Alexis is so cool and handsome on a boy. I don’t care for it on a girl. Not terrible though.

I like both. I'm not sure how they can get tired of Alexis without being equally as tired of other Alex- names to be honest

Alexis seems masculine to me, I think that if it'll rise, it will be on boys.
