HelpAlex : Boy, Girl, or completely unisex?
Subject speaks for itself. Do you think Alex is exclusively feminine, masculine, or 100% unisex?

Unisex but mostly for boys.

Unisex, since it can be used as a nn for Alexandra and Alexander.

I’m not crazy about the name in general, but I prefer it more for boys.

100% unisex, but...
I find it more annoying on girls.

I've never met a girl one; Alex boys are on every street corner.

Unisex imo. Although I'd imagine it would be a nn for a girl. I prefer it for a girl.

Male
By itself 100% male, as a nickname it could be unisex but I'd assume a male if I'd encounter it.

I agree with this.
As a stand-alone name, it is almost exclusively masculine imo
As a nickname, I think it's totally unisex (but would guess a guy if I didn't know).

Alex is completely unisex and good for anyone of any gender.

It feels unisex but goes a bit more towards the masculine side as I know more boys named Alex.
However, I am genuinely so sick and tired of this nickname and wouldn't use it for a boy or a girl.
But Alex is genuinely a name that I wish people would stop using. It has been crazy common since at least the 80s.
I know so many.
Alexander was super common for boys and for girls Alexandra, Alexis, Alexa and Alexandria made the top 100. It needs a good rest. I find it even more tired than Kate and Katie even though these two are at least somewhat pleasant and there aren't also a million boys around with them.
The only one of the Alex-names I still like is Alexa because it isn't that likely to get shortened and Alexis (but I am tired of it).

Completely unisex, and...
...I really like it.
I know people tend to hate Alex here, but I'm not sure why. I think it's a good name.
