It feels unisex but goes a bit more towards the masculine side as I know more boys named
Alex.
However, I am genuinely so sick and tired of this nickname and wouldn't use it for a boy or a girl.
But
Alex is genuinely a name that I wish people would stop using. It has been crazy common since at least the 80s.
I know so many.
Alexander was super common for boys and for girls
Alexandra,
Alexis,
Alexa and
Alexandria made the top 100. It needs a good rest. I find it even more tired than
Kate and
Katie even though these two are at least somewhat pleasant and there aren't also a million boys around with them.
The only one of the Alex-names I still like is
Alexa because it isn't that likely to get shortened and
Alexis (but I am tired of it).
