I love it for a boy. Partially because I adore Alexis Ohanian (aka Mr. Serena Williams), partially because it’s a great name.

I know men named Alexis, though if I read/hear the name my first assumption is that they are a woman.

In France, Alexis is a boy's name, but if your child is going to live here...

I view as a boy name but it was a popular male name in my Acadian family tree.

I'm an ESOL teacher and I've had more than one boy named Alexis. They were both Hispanic. I personally wouldn't name a boy that but these two students were not teased about their name.

Isn’t it alexei? Or something like that? What about Alexander? I do not think this is unisex in America. 99% of people will think the person is a girl.

In the US, it's a girl's name. If you name a boy that, he will be teased for it.

I like the name and from what I saw online, it’s considered a unisex name. Thoughts on naming a boy vs girl the name? Is it too feminine for a boy?
