The problem with this is that many people will see it as a creative spelling of Alex which I very much dislike. ah-LEEX is lovely but I can't stand Alex on either gender. I like Victoria and Matilda as middle names. Not so much Amelie. If you spell Irène with the accent you want to pronounce it the French way, I guess? Might be difficult if you live in an English speaking country. I guess most people will still say eye-REEN.
