If I like Alex

[mytypeonpaper]

I love the name Alex but something's stopping me from using it I think because there's so many of them I like Aled and Alec so I think I like the Al.. But none are grabbing me and now I'm stuck! Any ideas please?

Is Alex common these days? When I was at school it was (I'm 34) but I don't meet any young Alex's

I know an Alex who's known as Lex

Dexter (Dex)
Rex

Is Alex that common?

I dont know I thought Alex was pretty common. It just sounds boring but I really like it 😂🤷🏽‍♀️ thanks for the suggestions none are really leaping out at me 😭

I don’t think it is that common.

Not compared to Jack, Oscar, Theo, Charlie

I do know lots of girls and boys called Alex.

How about Alistair?

Just use it. I know ONE Alex out of the many children I know. I like it too.

Hugo.

I've got an Alex and there were 7 in his class (South Manchester - I blame Alex Fergusson). He's Alex, after Alexander the Great.. so if I'd had the other two boys I was planning they'd have been Frederick (Freddie) and Peter.

Albert nn Bertie
Alden
Alfred nn Alfie
Alistair

Alexander nn Alex, Lex or Xander
Alvin

It isn't boring.

I love it

I you like it go for it.

I don’t know any under the age of 20. I don’t think it’s boring at all
I’d go for it

Alistair? Do you like that name @mytypeonpaper

Albie?

The only Alex I know is DS1
He's 11. Never met another and I'm a nursery nurse!

There are 3 Alex's in my ds class. He's 8.
