Lex

[Myusuername]

For a boy
Surname is long so a short name is needed

Ooh never heard of it but I really like it!

I see Lex, I hear Luthor!

Not necessarily a bad thing but it's an unusual name so most adults will probably jump to the same connection if that bothers you?

I quite like it :)

Luthor.
The trouble with Superman is that there are always new films or series so kids may know the character too.

Very nice!!

This

I don’t know what you mean tbh @DoucheCanoe @UntilBubleSings

Definitely Luthor

Lex Luther is the first thing I think of!

I’d maybe go Alex and just call him Lex

I think male version of Lexi. I'd name him Alexander (even if it is long at least it's a proper name) and just call him Lex.

Lex Luther was my first thought too, imagine if he suffered hair loss as an adult, that could be a bit embarrassing with the name....

@Myusername, yes Lex Luthor- Superman villain.

Lex sounds unfinished and very made up to me.... yes, yes I know all names were originally.

Same here :)

A bit too Superman for me (Lex Luthor)...

Instead you could go for Alex, Alexis, Alexander and shorten it to Lex if you wish. At least your kid would have the choice to stick to his full name if he was not keen on Lex.

My first thought is superman villain.

My second thought is that it's Latin for "law".

What about Max instead?

I'd assume a Lex was named Alexander and that Lex was a nickname. I'd also link Lex to Lex Luthor.

Max? I think Max works better/OK as a standalone name, not just for Maximilian. Or Rex?

The Lex I know is Alexander, but he uses Lex most of the time (business cards, email, etc.) He does get asked about it a lot - someone recently thought it was short for Lexington. (I also know an Alexandra/Lexie who sometimes gets called Lex.)

I seem to be in the minority but I would assume a Lex was a girl.

If you give him Alexander as a full name, it’s fine as a nn.

I think of Luther too, but that's not a bad thing, he's a top tier villain. I would probably go for Alexander on bc.

Don't think I'd want my precious baby to put people in mind of a top tier villain!

It’s not a name, it’s a word which basically means law www.thefreedictionary.com/lex

Maybe not then😵
I dont watch films no i was non the wiser on that part lol…
My little boy likes alex so maybe go with that

While I like Alexander best, I much prefer Lex to Alex as its both less commonplace and I'm personally not that keen on unisex names (I know a few female Alex's, but no female Lex's - although a couple of Lexi's).

Too close to "sex".

Alexander with the nickname Lex is fine.
