[Opinions] Alexandra or Alix
I have a slight dilemma. As some of you know, I love history and there are a few personalities of which I'm partial that I'd like to name my children after. One of those personalities is Aleksandra Feodorovna, the wife of Nikolai II (however, I'd use the Alexandra spelling), who was born Alix. I'm stumped, though, over which name to use. Do I use the name she was born with (Alix) or the name she took after converting to Russian Orthodoxy?I'd like to use the name as a MN for Irina. Which do you like better: Irina Alexandra or Irina Alix?Also, are there any persons from history (or anywhere else) you like enough to name your child after?_____
