Comments for the name Alexandre

Portuguese: u-le-SHAN(n)-dre (e is mute)

The pronunciation in French is more like a-lek-XAWNDRe, it's an x, not an s. That's why my friend prefers to be called Alex because otherwise people say his name wrong.

Has a kind of 19th century French feeling to it. The connotations of Alexandre Dumas make it feel like a stronger name.

This is Alex Evans' full name. He is a somewhat famous teen photographer and designer. I really like this name!

Alexandre Despatie, French-Canadian diver, two time Olympic silver medalist in the 3m springboard.

This name has a sort of lordly, old-fashioned charm. Alexandre is a great variant to the wonderful but overused Alexander.

He created the scores for movies such as "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Twilight: New Moon" (even though the movie was less than fantastic, the score and soundtrack were amazing), and "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium" (alongside fellow composer Aaron Zigman), among many others.
