Comments for the name Alix

One of Eleanor of Aquitaine's daughters was Alix. Queen Victoria's dear daughter, Alice, married a German and changed her name to Alix. Her dear daughter, Alix, changed her name to Alexandra when she married Tsar Nicholas II. It's a name with a lot of history behind it.

Alix is a German variant of 'Alice'. Named for her mother Princess Alice, Alix of Hesse, grandaughter of Queen Victoria of England, was the wife of Czar Nicholas II of Russia, who was murdered, along with her husband and five children, in 1918.

The second of Eleanor of Aquitaine (later Queen of England)'s daughters with Louis VII was named Alix.

Agatha Christie mentioned a lady named Alix in "The Dead Harlequin". I personally prefer this name above the usual Alice because of the unique touch the "x" gave.

Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova, last Tsaritsa of Russia and wife of Nicholas II, the last Emperor of the Russian Empire, was referred to as 'Alix' by her family.

Maria Alix (1898-1898) was the oldest daughter of King Frederick Augustus III of Saxony and his wife Luise. She was stillborn. Her younger sister (1901-1990) was named after her.
