"Alexandria" is an unusual personal name. Is perhaps "Alexandra" meant?<br> |

:I think Alexandria is the female form of Alexandra. -- [[User:Tzartzam|Sam]] |
|||
::Alexander == male, Alexandra + Alexandria (+ Alexandrea?) == female |
|||
WHat about the meaning OF "Alex" I believe it normally means something to the effect of "Defender of Man, or Defender of Mankind" The "The ALex" refers to defend, and the aner, or ander, like andrew, refers to "of men" (April |

I believe Alex of ''Clockwork Orange'' fame has the last name DeLarge, but this could just be an addition for the film or a fact not mentioned in the book but held to be true. -- Jeremy (not yet a registered user) |

== Chris Ryan Book Character == |
|||
there is a character in the childrens series of "Alpha Force" and the person had the name, im not sure of the last name as i havent seen it [[User:81.77.140.35|81.77.140.35]] 15:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC) |

== Alexander and Alexandra == |
|||
I would suggest two improvements to the "Alex is sometimes short for Alexander and Alexandra" claim: |
|||
1) Move it to the article proper (the introduction) |
|||
2) Make the names wiki-links so you can click them |

== Male and Female == |
|||
I would suggest each entry is marked male or female. Otherwise the only way to know the entries' gender is to click each and every link. [[Special:Contributions/85.227.226.235|85.227.226.235]] ([[User talk:85.227.226.235|talk]]) 13:02, 4 February 2008 (UTC) |

== An Alex, the current prize of photoshop == |
|||
I think the contrebution about "An Alex" should be put back in place in "Other usage". This makes it easyer to find the article you are interested in. |
|||
== Famous Alexs == |
|||
Aren't there any other famous alexs? There's so many famous Toms for instance (Cruise, Waits, Yorke, Petty, Jones) or famous Davids or Michaels, but there really don't seem to be any famous Alexs... what's the deal with that? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.80.189.137|24.80.189.137]] ([[User talk:24.80.189.137|talk]]) 08:40, 25 December 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
