@Siphonay
Am I the only guy (male!) whose name is "Alexis" here? I know it's a female name in anglophone countries
@Siphonay here's a famous Alexis from the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_Ohanian
@Siphonay I know another Alexis who's not female, at least? ;) Not male either though!
@Siphonay I’m a male (bit genderqueer) Alexis. :-)
@lex_jay I'm not alone, woo :D
@Siphonay Yep yep. Mine’s based on Slavic heritage (should maybe be Aleksy but ah well, I like my Alexis, or Lex for short). Whole lot of Brits think it’s exclusively feminine. Nope.
@Siphonay also the first name of a quite (but also not quite) leftist country leader (also male).
@Siphonay Nope je m'appelle Alexis aussi ! En fait c'est vraiment seulement dans les pays anglophones que c'est un nom féminin. Perso mes parents m'ont appelé ainsi en référence au fils du tsar Nicolas II.
@Ekael Haha nice, moi c'est juste que mes parents voulaient m'appeler Alix et ma soeur a trouvé que Alexis c'était mieux x)
@Siphonay I know a (French, male) Alexis. I think without the 's' it's also a male slavic name.
