My mother very nearly named me this and I probably would not have liked it if she did. I don’t like the fact that it’s the brand of a car and the teasing risk of being called, “Alexa” is just too high.
DOCTOR: "Congratulations, sir, you've just become the father of a Lexus!"Ugh, seriously. This is as bad as naming your kid Porsche or Alease (the latter is actually a name on this sight). I don't know anyone with these three names. Which is a good thing.

I've had the misfortune of seeing this butchering of Alexis more than a few times. It looks ignorant and trashy, and makes me want to pronounce it A-leks-US instead of A-LEKS-iss. Vowels do mean something; they're not just put in there at random to look cute or creative.
