Russian Classes: How the name Alex changes in Russian
You asked me to explain the name Alex, and how it would sound in Russian. So here you go!
This name is very popular and is used for both men and women in the forms Александр and Александра respectively.
Like every other name, it has diminutive forms - Саша being the main one that everyone uses in informal communication with both genders. There is also the even less formal Саня - which can transform into the more gender-specific for boys, and Санечка, for girls. Сашенька, meanwhile, is fine for both, and denotes a loving relationship.
There are also less popular, but still used forms, such as Шура (for boys and girls), Шурик (for boys) and Шурочка (for girls).
