Alix for a girl?

[violindingres]

This is a French girls' name. We are French living in the UK - how does it sound to the British ear?

It sounds like alex(andra) so sounds nice. She'll spend a lot of time correcting people though!

It sounds nice but people will assume it's in some way short for Alexandra

Pretty name OP. Yes some will presume its a nickname or spelt incorrectly though. That wouldn't bother me if I loved a name.

I know an (adult) Alix, I'm sure she has to say 'with an i' quite often but there are lots of names like that and it's very pretty and natural. She has a slightly French look which helps!

The assumption it's Alex/andra wouldn't bother me particularly, I meant to say last night.

I like Alys not Alice and have been told people will think in just trying to be "trendy". It's the Welsh form,I am Welsh, other people can get used to the name.

I did think Alix was German though

I think it's a very pretty name.

Makes me think of Ajax

I wouldn't personally

I like it

Alex would be nicer

Alix is my sisters name. She does have to say with an "I" a lot. She loved it on French holidays as children when she could find things with her name on liks key rings etc. fab name I think!

I love it, but I am French.

I think it's actually the Latin form of Alice (like Beatrix vs Beatrice).
Anyway, it sounds pretty to my ears and is less unisex than Alex.
