ArchivesRe: Alexi
in reply to a message by Siân
The letter X doesn't really exist in the Finnish language, but if it were used it would be for foreign words and names. The Finnish form of the name is Aleksi. Considering the popularity of Alex- names around the world, I think the fact that Alexi isn't even in the database sheds some light on its popularity.

I know. I was a little disappointed to find it wasn't in the database.
I thought it would be much easier than this.
The boy I know with this name has a Romany background, but I know that many of their names come from outside cultures and they just adopt them.
It may be the Romany form, but I wasn't sure.
They pronounce it something like "AH-leck-chi" or "AH-layk-chi" and most of his American friends just call him Alex.
