Help[Opinions] Re: Alix
in reply to a message by Eliora
I love Alix. I don't understand why BtN has it as a variant of Alex in the database.
You're right. Queen Victoria's second dd was Alice. When she married a German (Hesse) it was changed to Alix. I always thought the combination Victoria Alix was nice; how about Alix Victoria? Matilda Alix, Josephine Alix? Miriam Alix is lovely.
One of Eleanor of Aquitaine's dds by French King Louis was also named Alix, although spelling was so random back then it's hard to use anything that old as a guide. But still, the name Alix goes back as far as the twelfth century.
I wish BtN had it correctly in the database. It's not just a variant of Alex. It is a form of Alice in its own right.
