I LOVE Alex on a girl and pushed DH for it (Georgia was also on our short list). I've known 2 girl Alexes - one a successful restauranteur and one a grad student. Both are pretty, very very smart and very very independent - the kind of women I'd be happy for my daughter to grow up like. I think of it as a name that's tough and sexy on an adult but also cute on a little girl.

Alex Ophelia is interesting, but I'm not a huge Ophelia fan. What seems to fit best to me are sort of old fashioned/very feminine names and names starting with vowels. Depending on your last name, any of these might work:

---

Alex Evelyn
Alex Eugenie
Alex Irena
Alex Imogen
Alex Odessa
Alex Olivia

---

also: Alex Maria, Alex Corrina, Alex Francesca, Alex Lucinda

---

BTW, I love Dean as a middle name for a girl. A bit too unisex to pair with Alex, but Georgia Dean sounds great.

---

Alex is cute, and Alex Ophelia is lovely. Some random suggestions . . .

---

Alex Maria / Marie
Alex Olivia
Alex Theresa
Alex Diane
Alex Kelly
Alex Rachel
Alex Hannah
Alex Megan
Alex Brogan
Alex Delilah

---

BTW, I know Hollis is on your short list, and I was wondering whether you'd considered Hollin as an alternative? Another couple of names that made me think of you were Jenner (maybe too similar to Gunner lol) and Farley.

Ok, so I'm not a big fan of unisex names, but Alex is one I like. I love it for a girl, but I don't really like it for a guy. I really like "just" Alex as a name for a girl, it's very cute. I like the combos Alex Nicole, Alex Hannah, Alex Danielle, Alex Teagan and Alex Bethany.

I like the spellling Alix better for a girl if you are using this as the full name.

---

I like Alix Ophelia

I don't like Alex on its own for either gender. Sorry.

---

Is Hollis still in the running? I still really like it.

Meh, what about Wyatt Ophelia Wright (thats you ln, right?) - WOW! Or:
Grayson Dean
Dale Evan
Bergen Hollis
Aubrey Burke
Sullivan Claire
Sailor Kathleen / Katherine

Inside of me there is a skinny girl, screaming to get out but I can usually shut her up with cookies!

Alex to me is a nn for Alexia,Alexis,or Alexandra

I don't care for it, sorry. I think when teachers, etc. see "Alex Lastname" in print, they'll always assume MALE.

It's okay and I like both middle names. I'm still backing Hollis though.

I met Kelly Clarkson! She's awesome!

Cute, I really like it! I would choose Alex Kathe, Alex Kate, or Alex Christine.

I'm not a fan of nicknames as full first names. If Alex is to be a full name though, I prefer the spelling Alix. It looks more separate from Alexandra, and I'm biased because I was reading the Nicholas & Alexandra biography recently, and she was originally princess Alix or Somewhere-or-other ;-) Alix Ophelia would be lovely.

---

I still prefer your other choices, Hollis being my very favourite.

Alex Ophelia is rather sweet but I still like Hollis Ophelia slightly more :)

I think it's too ambiguous and confusing, as people will probably think it's a nickname for Alexandra, Alexis, etc. (kind of like Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen's daughter Sam). I prefer Alexandra with Alex as a nickname.

Check out my profile for my PP's names.

I actually prefer Alex on a girl to any other Alex____ names (even for a boy)!

Alex should be a boys name imo. I would hate to go thru life as a woman named Alex. But then, I don't like any of the Alex names, especially Alexis, Alexa, Alexia, Alexandria, etc. Too harsh sounding.

I can see Alex as a name on its own, from the Greek alexo "to defend, to help". Alex Ophelia is really pretty.

---

I prefer Hollis, though.

Shannon

It's an okay name, but I don't like it for you nearly as much as I like Hollis...or Georgia, for that matter.

---

Alex on its own sounds like a rich, bratty girl living in a penthouse in New York City. I think your other choices had a lot more personality than this one, which is looking pretty worn out just now.
