[Opinions] Does this work as a nickname?
Do you think Alec works as a nickname for Alexander? I really love Alec as nickname for Alexander, but what do you think?

Of course. Alec is commonly used as a nickname for Alexander, just not as much as Alex.

Well, seeing as that's what Alec is, a nn for Alexander, of course it works.
However, you'd have to be prepared for hearing it rendered as Alex more often than not.
