Queen Victoria's dd Alice changed her name to Alix (form of Alice) when she married a German aristocrat (from Hesse, I think). Her dd Alix married Tsar Nicholas II and changed her name to Alexandra when she became Empress of Russia.

Also, I believe Eleanor of Acquitaine had a dd Alix, daughter of Louis of France. However, spellings were so random back then it's hard to really use this one as a firm "Alix."

Did you mean any other Alix? I love the name and would appreciate any other historic references that you or anyone else can provide. Thanks.
