Help[Facts] Re: Alexei ... proper pronunciation of son's name
in reply to a message by Daira
I dont know too much Russian, but I would assume it is a-lehk-sey.
Since Russian is writen with a different writing system, there are many variations of this name in the Roman alphabet. Others I've seen are: Aleksei, Alexej, and Aleksej, all possible forms of Alexei.

And in addition
Aleksei is from Alexius. Another version of Alexius is Alexis, which was--and still is, in many countries--100% male originally.
The female form of Alexius / Alexis in English is Alexia, but unfortunately that's also the medical term for a reading disorder (similar to, but not the same as, dyslexia), albeit through a different etymology.
