"so whatever"
Take it you don't like being caught out? It's medieval French, not medieval English, and it is not a form of Alex. It's Alice. And since when have you had an issue with creative spellings anyway?
But yeah, whatever.

I don't care what language it comes from. It sounds just like Alex and looks just like a creative version of it, and in fact the one Alix I ever knew used it as short for Alexandra.
Alix being a form of Alice and not Alex is not important today in any context except a linguistic/scholarly one.

Sure it's important, it's as important as the distinction between Elena and Alaina.
I learned about Alix not so long ago, too. I find it helps to remember it this way, to keep Alex and Alix separate in my head:
Alix : Alice :: Beatrix : Beatrice
Now you know, the Alix you knew was just ignorant. But you don't have to be, anymore. Yay. This is a good thing. Right?
