I know a man named Alexis. I've known him since we were both small children. He's always gone by Alex. I doubt there are many people in his life apart from family who realize his name is not Alexander. But I've never heard him say he's embarrassed by his name. He might be, though. I understand why you think it's unusable. Same raw deal for the boys as with Ashley, etcetera. Once it's on a girl, it can't come back. That kills me.
