Sounds girly to me. Almost like Alexie.
Love the name it does sound Russian though. Perhaps u may want to change the spelling to the Russian way Alexei? That way ppl won't get so confused. Just a thought. Either way the pronunciation of the name does sound very masculine.
In France ,where I m from, it's a boy s name BUT spelled Alexi and Alexia for girls.
I am from Russia it's definitely a boys name
Thanks for your comments and your support i definitally love the name and will go for it :-)
Aleksey is a masculine russian name. I have several cousins named Aleksey and they are all boys.
Aleksi is a France name. My cousin is a boy. It's a boy name. Can be shortened for Aleksandr
I thought it sounded like a girl name
It does sounds like russian boy name.
Alexei was one of the brothers in The Brothers Karamazov (Russian novel)... So definitely a boy name originally.
Male but.could possibly be either.
Sounded male to me when I read the name
Could be unisex. But it definitely sounds like a Russian male name though. If you love it, go with it!
It sounds male to me, and sounds like a name coming from a cool Russian type background. I'm sure it could of course be a girls name, but does that really matter to do what someone thinks of your childs name? If you had a girl and named her "Joey" or "Jordan" or "Taylor", "Reece", etc, there are so many names out there that work for males and females interchangeably.
I honestly would prob look for a girl if I was doing roll call..... but your mom so it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of your name pick.
