I'm not sure why it seems feminine to you, but in Russia, this is a strictly masculine name. It ends in a consonant (-ΠΉ), and is, therefore, masculine.
As for my impression of the name, I like it. Not much because of its association with the last tsarevich of Russia (he was apparently very bratty, as he was babied due to his position in the imperial family and his hemophilia), but simply because it's nice sounding. Never liked Alexander or Alex, but this is very nice.
