What do you think of the feminine name Alix? How do you pronounce it?
I have always pronounced it AL-iks (same as the unisex nickname Alex). The BTN entry says it's a medieval French form of Alice, and the comments section has people pronouncing it both AL-iks and ah-LEEKS. I don't know much about French pronunciation, let alone medieval French. Would someone with some French language background enlighten me on the proper way to say it?
Given Alix's sound and etymology, do you think could it be used as a nickname for Alison?
