Yes, of course.

Thanks, I didn’t know!

Thanks for all the comments! I honestly did not know that Alec was commonly short for Alexander. I only came across it once, in a book series (Shadowhunters

Of course. Alec is commonly used as a nickname for Alexander, just not as much as Alex.

Yeah it works perfectly

Sure , wasn’t it a nn for Alexander originally?

Yes of course

Alec is a nickname for Alexander, of course it works. I love it too.

Definitely. It’s pretty obvious, traditional and common.

It happens every day. What's your problem?

Yes

I think it makes sense. Go for it.

Yes. I think it's close enough to work.

Well, seeing as that's what Alec is, a nn for Alexander, of course it works.
However, you'd have to be prepared for hearing it rendered as Alex more often than not.
