Comments for the name Lex

Me and my friends are always calling my friend Alexia this name. She rather likes it too and it suits her.

Lex Luther is Superman's nemesis.

Lex is the name used by Superman villian Lex Luthor. According to Smallville TV series, Lex is short for Alexander, and this is most probably a link to Alexander the Great.

Lex can also be a girls' name/nickname. My name is Alexandra and it's often shortened to just Lex or Lexa.

Lex can also be a short form of Alexis or Alexa.

Lex. Simple, and very unique. I like it as a nickname. It's intriguing.

Lex means "law" in Latin. Not a good name for a person.

I love Lex for both boy and girl.

My friend is Lex, though his real name is Leslie. Probably influenced by him, I prefer it for a boy.

This name is also used in Dutch and Limburgish, though mostly on males (as a short form of Alexander).

My mate's called Alexis an we call her Lex. To me it sounds like it could be feminine or masculine.

In the book 'Jurassic Park' there is a girl called Lex. She also features in the first and second film versions. Probably for this reason, I think of Lex as more of a girls' name.

I find this a good name for both boys and girls, but not as a 'proper' name, as a nickname then yes I love it. Before I never actually thought of it as a nickname for a male, as always I thought it to be short for Alexa and Alexis.
