原It is also used as short form of Alexandros (in Greek) and a Russian variant transcription of Aleks.

原Alex Webster was the bassist of American death metal band Cannibal Corpse.

原My name is Alex and I think it is one of the best names in Australia(I live in Australia).

原Alex is a great name. My sister's name is Alex. Either boy or girl, Alex is still amazing. Sorry but if you're calling Alex stupid or ugly, think again!

原Also a Hungarian name. Pronounced: AW-leks.

原It's okay as a nickname, but too nicknamey as a full name.

原It makes a decent nickname but not a full name.

原The name Alex was given to 185 girls born in the US in 2015.

原Alex is the name of a man who runs a YouTube channel called I Hate Everything. He currently has almost 1 million subscribers.

原Not a biblical name is it, and why should it have to be? Church congregations have shrunk a lot over the decades in Britain, and not without good reason. It's recognizably Greek, or Macedonian if you like. At the same time it is given to boys and girls without any ancestral link to those countries. It isn't too weird, although, depending on the surname it can sound a little thin. There are far more trendy, cruel and unusual names these days.You might think it a bit more snappy and cool than Alexander - but why would you not name your son Alex as Alexander? Is it a bit too long for a parent with a fragile ego? Remember Emperor Alexander was The Great.

原Alex sounds like a name a dog would have!

原Other than Alex Trebek, I can't picture a 40 or 50 year old man named Alex so I'm not sure how well this name will age.

原Quite frankly I'm sick and tired of hearing this name wherever I go, whether it be at school, work, on TV or anywhere in real life. It seems to be too common of a name, but at least it's not more common than John or Tom.

原I'm not really a fan of the name Alex, but I do prefer it on a boy. I also agree with Epicanna27 in that it is silly just to name your child a name that is a diminutive of another name. And I especially feel for all of the girls who have Alex as their legal names because now substitute teachers will probably assume that Alex is a boy!I like the name Alexander (m) and love Alexandra (f), but I prefer Al as a masculine diminutive and Allie or Sasha as a feminine diminutive.

原Alexander is an awesome name.But why name your kid just "Alex"? Legally naming your kid a nickname is a bad idea. Why not name your kid the full name and call them by the nickname?At least an Alexander can choose between his full name, Alex, Lex, Xander, and a lot more.

原Considering Alex is my very own name (fully Alexandra), I tend to think other Alex's are similar to myself. And for the most part, I've found this to be quite true. Even though there's practically 100 of them at my school, of the ones I do know, we tend to be unique, weird, strong, and very creative. Many people have told me they couldn't see me with any other name. I'm personally not too fond of the names Alexa or Alexis; At least for myself. I know an "Alyx" too, but that's a different story. The band teacher at my school calls me Al and I really like that.

原A boring, bland, dull name that is too plain by itself.

原I don't like this name. It seems plain and dull to me and better suited as a nickname.

原I like the name Alex because that is my name. I was one of those kids that ran around every day and did NERF gun wars. I did like violence within my own boundaries. I am very caring and I always try to help people because I believe that no matter what, someone is having a worse day than me. I think that your name does not affect your actions. I grew out of my stage of violence. I have always, throughout my life, been kind to people.

原Personally I have a close friend named Alex. Just Alex, and not Alexander. Honestly it suits him really well but I think that it would be a cool name for both boys and girls.

原Alex is a name for a tough and hyper child. Alexandria or Alexandra sounds too princessy. Alexander sounds too intelligent.

原I think Alex is a cute name for a girl but it originally sounds like a boys name but it's cute for anyone :)!

原I actually really love this name, but not for a boy. While others hear masculiness (I know it's not a word but) I hear quite a bit more feminine in it. I also like the names Alexa or Alexis, but I find those names are too overused and popular. I know Alex is pretty overused but not as much as a lot of other names these days.

原The name is also rather common in Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. [noted -ed]

原I've always had a good impression of the nickname Alex. Of those that I've met, I'd say there is a fairly even field of "kind Alex" bearers and "unkind Alex" bearers (although, perhaps slightly more of the initial). I think it is an incredibly nice nickname; very playful and young, but it suits up well for maturing. And at this moment, there is one particular Alex I know who gives a great reflection of it.In general, I prefer it on men. That said, I am one who loves a good masculine name on women. It could be wonderful on a girl, if you choose. I feel that there may be better options, though-- especially for someone like me, who, if trying to go less stereotypically feminine, may lean toward the likes of Benny, Ronnie, etc.

原C'mon guys. A lot of people saying that Alexes are mean, bossy, rebellious etc. Well, I'm Alex. And a lot of people I know are Alex. But we are not like that!

原The personality of an Alex always depends on his/her surroundings. If Alex grows up around other people and love, Alex will grow up as generous and kind. If Alex is exposed to the good and bad, and is told of the effects in the future, Alex will be aware of his choices in life. In conclusion, it depends on how Alex is brought up. Alex's like to follow what they learned in the past.

原Great gender-neutral name.

原Alex Vause is a female character on the Netflix original series "Orange Is the New Black."

原My name is Alex and I am a girl and I don't get why everyone is saying all the Alex's they have met are snooty and violent because I know for sure I'm not. I know quite a few Alex's (not girls) and they aren't violent at all and they are actually quite friendly. For all you people saying how snooty and violent we are you haven't met all the Alex's in the world, so who are you to judge? You're not perfect, no one is. I think the name Alex suits a girl more. I don't know why, but I think the name Alex on a boy... well I just don't like it that much. Also, girls called Alex are quite unique because I've never met one before. I know some girls can get picked on if they have a boy/girl name but I just ignore them and really, I don't think one person has asked me why I have this name.

原Alex the lion, the main protagonist of the Madagascar films.

原Alex James is the bassist for pop band Blur.

原Alexandra "Alex" is a character in Totally Spies!.

原Alex is the main character in the Ashes trilogy written by Ilsa J. Bick.

原Another famous bearer is Alex Trimble, the red headed singer of the Irish indie pop band Two Door Cinema Club :)

原I think the nickname "Lexi" is more attributed to girls and not for boys. For boys, it's more "Alex" or "Xander"... not "Lexi".

原Two famous bearers I can think of are Alex Riley and Alex Zane (although the latter might be using a stage name). They are both British comedians/TV presenters.Alex Riley is probably best known for his "Britain's Most Disgusting Food" series.Alex Zane has presented, among others, T4 and Rude Tube.

原I would deffinately pick Alex for a boy. Something softer like Lexie or Alexis for a girl would be prefered if I was choosing the name for my child or a character in a story. Since I don't have kids yet but am a budding authress, I think in terms of which character does this name fit. I imagine an Architect with the face of Jim Caveizel, but that's just me.

原A good nickname for either Alexander or Alexandra/Alexandria, all of which are names that I personally love. I like this nickname over Lexi/Lexie for girls because it seems more likeable, too. There is also the character Alex Louis Armstrong from the manga/anime Fullmetal Alchemist.

原Alex Day is a popular youtuber. He is also a musician and charted number 4 in the UK with his single Forever Yours.

原It looks so strong and cute at the same time.

原Alex Lifeson is the guitarist from Rush. His real name though is Aleksandar Živojinović. His surname meaning "son of life" therefore, turning his new last name into Lifeson and having his first name shortened to Alex. (^.^)

原Alexander William Gaskarth (goes by Alex) is the lead singer of the pop-punk band All Time Low.

原Alex Kralie, a character from the horror ARG called Marble Hornets.

原One of my best friends is named Alex, and she is a girl. And no it's not short for Alexandra, it's just Alex, and the name suits her. When we were in high school and there was a substitute it was funny seeing them call out the roll because we were pretty sure the teacher assumed she would be a boy! I like the name for both females AND males.

原ALEX GASKARTH! Alex Gaskarth is the lead singer of the amazingness boy band, All Time Low.

原I think this is a bad name for girls, it is the best for a boy. Girls named Alex are very snobby and weird.

原Ugh. I don't like this on a boy or a girl. I don't like variants of this name, either (i.e. Alexander, Alexandra, Alexei).

原My youngest of three sons' name is Alex, just Alex, it is not short for anything. He is a strong, smart, sweet boy and the name suits him.

原Alex is the name of the main character in the 1992 British horror film 'Tale of a Vampire'. He is portrayed by Julian Sands.

原I LOVE this name because I have a friend and her name is Alex and she's so funny. I think this name is gender neutral but a bit overused. But still, I love it.

原This name is very masculine and cool for a boy to have. For a girl it is too tomboyish.

原Alex (Alexander) Gaskarth is the lead singer of the band, All Time Low.

原I love this name for a girl.

原I like this name for a boy or for a girl (more like a boy's nickname and girl's full name). I'm surprised that it's in the Slovenian top 100 because the letter X doesn't even exist in their alphabet.

原Alex Turner is the singer and lead guitarist of a British indie rock band called Arctic Monkeys. He is a very talented lyricist and an accomplished guitarist.

原Alex Brown (born June 4, 1979 in Jasper, Florida) is a National Rugby League defensive end for the Chicago Bears. The 2008 season will be his eighth year in the National RugbyLeague.

原My name is Alex, and I am female. My family speaks French, and they have always pronounced my name "A-lex". With the emphasis more towards the end of it. I find that spelling it "Alexe" causes people to say it like that. I think it sounds more feminine, but it is just a preference.

原There's nothing I can find about this name that's bad. I wouldn't use it as a full name, but rather as a nickname for Alexander or Alexandra. It's short and simple and fits a child, because a four-syllable name is rather long for a child.

原If you convert letters to numbers (a=1, b=2, c=3, etc.), Alex is equal to 42, which is the answer to life, the universe, and everything. :)

原The main character of Silent Hill: Homecoming is called Alex Shepherd. Alex is believed to be his full name.

原Alex is the name of my friend's older brother, but I also love the name as a girl's name. It sounds spunky, fresh, and cute. Whether it's Alex, Alexander, or Alexandra, I really like this name!

原I think this name is more for a boy, than a girl. Alexa, maybe for a girl, but not Alex.

原This does not have to be considered a shortened version of Alexander or the like; "Alex" or "alexo" means "defend," which seems like a fine name to me.

原One of my best friends' name is Alex. He's a guy. I like it as a girl name for some people.

原Wonderful, strong name for boys. When you hear the name you always assume it is a boy, Alexis, Alexa or other nicknames like Lexie or Ally are cuter for girls.

原In Limburgish, this name is also used (on males, as a short form of Alexander).

原Selena Gomez plays as Alex Russo in the Disney Channel Wizards Of Waverly Place.

原Alex Evans uses Alex as a nickname.

原Alex Cora, Boston Red Sox infielder.

原Alex Summers, better known as "Havok", brother of Scott Summers ("Cyclops") and long-time member of the X-Men.

原It's my name and I personally consider it cool. And that's not just because it's my name. =)

原Alex Borstein, voice of Lois Griffin on the animated series Family Guy.

原I think Alex sounds better on a boy than a girl. In my opinion. It is a very cute name for a little boy.

原I like this name. It can work either way, if you've got a boy, or a girl. But I wouldn't name my son 'Alexander' and call him 'Alex'. I'd name him 'Alex' to start with. For a girl, Alex, is another name I wouldn't use as a nickname. It would be her real name.

原That is my favourite name! Nickname for Alexandr(a) - a very imposing name. By the way, in Russia it has lots of variants: Sasha, Shoora, Sashulya, etc. The fact that it suits for both sexes makes Alex so popular. A magnificent name!

原I love the name Alex. For guys and for girls, more for guys though.

原This name is far too popular for me, and I must agree that many of the Alex-es I've met have been selfish, bossy, rude, unkind. I've also run across a few who spell their name "Alexs" or "Alexz", both of which I find terrible. I've also seen this name shortened to "Lex," which is not nearly as hideous as the previous two versions, but is still not anywhere near the top on my list.

原Also a boys name in Slovenia, though not as popular as Aleks.

原I think Alex is a very good name.

原Trust me never call a girl Alex. It is cruel! From personal experience having the name Alex as a girl is extremly annoying. People have actually said to me 'that's a boys name why are you called Alex?'. Also teachers at school call you Alec AND in primary school I always got blue name stickers. This was very upsetting as I was 5 and I was being singled out because of my name.

原Alex Garcia! What a common name, I know. But I have a crush one one Alex Garcia. Thus, I love the name.

原That is my favourite nickname and I love it. It is not used that much here in the country that I live in so it works nice for me.

原This is my 17 year old brother's nickname. His name is actually Aleksandr, but only gets called that when he's in trouble. This nickname is okay, but I don't like it as much as his other nicknames (Lex, Lexi) because when we go to the mall or something other people will think I'm talking to them because their name is Alex.

原Famous bearer is Alex Wolff, son of Michael Wolff and Polly Draper, and brother to Nat Wolff. He's from The Naked Brothers Band on Nickelodeon.

原There is a female author Alex Kava.

原My 12 month old daughter is named Alexandra and we call her Alex. I love it. I don't really feel it is overused as it seems like that was more of a trendy name in the yuppie 80s than it is now. I hate Ally and Lexie. My Alex will never be one of them!

原'Alex Karev' is a sometimes arrogant but good hearted doctor in Grey's Anatomy. He is played by Justin Chambers.

原I met a GIRL Alex, just yesterday. She was blonde with blue eyes. Alex definitely suited her. I personally like this name on both boys and girls, but mostly girls.

原I love the name Alex - it's one of my favorite boys' names. My crush is named Alex, and he's not snooty or violent. Maybe you all were just looking in the wrong place.

原I would never abbreviate a girl's name to Alex - it is so much more of a boy's name. I think it suits someone who is silly and goofy but with a good heart. The actor who played Alex Rider in the film Stormbreaker was also called Alex (Pettyfer) so it will always sound to me like a teenager's name.

原If I was born a boy I would have been named Alex. Just Alex, not Alexander. But my parents changed their mind by the time my brother came around because they thought Alex was too popular. I have to agree, there were 40,041 male Alex's born in the 2000s alone, and also 919 Alex's born in the 2000s. That's just plain Alex, mind, not counting all the Alexis' (female, 89,512, male, 17,738), Alexander's (104,903), Alexandra's (40,837), Alexa's (25,551), Alexandria's (17,929), Alexia's (14,007), Alexus's (5,416), Alexzander's (1,509), Alexandro's (1,377), Alexandrea's (1,353), and Alexys's (1,021). All in all that's 362,113 kids born in the 2000s that could be called Alex. Wow.

原Alex Kelley (f) was a character on the second season of The O.C.

原I think Alex should be used for boys/men. It could be short for Alexander, or its own name. The feminine form of this name would be Alexa.

原I really, really like this name, and it is one of the few masculine names that sounds cute on a girl, too. But much as I like it, it sounds very modern and fad-ish. Sure, there's Alex Trebek, but how many other Alex-s are there that are older than thirty?

原Alex was also the name of the little boy in "The Mummy Returns."

原In my opinion, I think it is a nicer nickname for Alexandra or Alexa. Most Alex's that are boys, I dare also agree are either snooty, violent or just bossy and also because I've met a few who are like that. A cute nickname could be "Ally."
