It's [uh-LEEKS], not [UH-leeks]. The second one sounds totally like Alex, so what's the point.

I do like Alix (ah-LEEKS) as a nickname for Alexandra. It reminds me of the last Russian empress and Alexandra of Denmark, who were called Alix within their family circles.

I really like this name due to the association with the last Russian tsarina. It's a shame that people will probably assume it's a nickname and not a full name.

I like Alix because it is not a boy name and seems like a diminutive, but is a full name for a female. I only like it on girls, and I don't like Alex for either gender, I prefer Xander. I think Alix sounds like the name of a woman with big green eyes and silky brown hair.

My name is Alexandria and my mother gave me the nickname Alix so that people would not get my name of Alexandria confused with the name Alexandra. She exchanged the e for an I so that it would be a little reminder.

My name is Alix, and let me tell you, I hated my name when I was little. Not only was it something that I had to get used to spelling for people, other kids, especially boys, kept teasing me for having a "boy's" name. As I grew older, I researched it like crazy in order to find something about my name to be proud of. Now that I'm older, people always say "Oooh, I like how that's spelled!" or "That's an interesting name!" When I come back and say, "It's a medieval French version of Alice," they're even more interested! Now I love my name - it's unique and classy and strong and bearing an incredible history!

I am an Alexandra but generally known as Alix. My mother once told me that with Alex you couldn't tell whether that person was an Alexander (male) or Alexandra (female). Alix is the female shortening and the male one Alex or Alec. Even so, we Alix(es) can claim an air of mystery!

What an interesting name! What an interesting person this child might grow up to be. But Alix is a tough name to live up to. It might be better to name them something more neutral, like Alixandra, and let them grow into an Alix.

Hey this name is close to mine, so I think it's AWESOME. My name is Allix by the way. It was found in the world's greatest baby book. All I know about the name "Alix" is that some Russian empress, or something, had the full name Alexandra and went by Alix for short.

My name is Alix, pronounced a-LEEKS (my parents chose it as a nickname for Alexandra that would work in French or English, our 2 family languages), which I think sounds much prettier than AL-iks. I have met 2 other American Alixes who pronounce their name a-LEEKS, and maybe 10 who say it AL-iks.

One of Eleanor of Aquitaine's daughters was Alix. Queen Victoria's dear daughter, Alice, married a German and changed her name to Alix. Her dear daughter, Alix, changed her name to Alexandra when she married Tsar Nicholas II. It's a name with a lot of history behind it.
