If my baby is a boy, I am planning to name him Alexander. My young cousin (13) just informed me that if I do so, he will be teased constantly. Now, when I went to school, and when my 20-yr-old cousin went to school, there were lots of boys named Alex. But this younger cousin says that every single Alex she has ever heard of among her peers is a girl. Has it become the case that only girls are named Alex (Alexandra, Alexandria, Alexis, whatever) now? Please tell me you know of some boys under age 13 who are called Alex.
