HelpRe: Alix (ed)
in reply to a message by Eliora
I love Alix. I had it down as a firm favourite for a long time and somehow nobody liked it around me, all I got was negative feedback. I don't see it trendy, I also think of Princess Alix, who married the Tzar of Russia. I think people these days tend to label everything trendy where one letter is changed from the usual...
I like Miriam also. I must say I would use the combo Alix Miriam I think it has a better flow then the other way around.
Also I belive I read somewhere that Princess Alix got her name as a variant of Alice and not Alexandra. BtN says it's a variant of Alex, I think my babybook says it's a variant of Alice. Will check it later.

Queen Victoria's second dd was Alice. When she married a German prince, it was changed to the German form of the name Alix. Her dd Alix (Queen Victoria's granddaughter) is the one who married Tsar Nicholas II and became Alexandra (It was the closest / easiest to a Russian name for Alix that they had.)
