Is Alexei a good name for a boy?
I like to think about names for if I ever have kids, and I really love the name Alexei for a boy, but a lot of my friends say it sounds like a girl name. Would this be an ok boy name? Thank you answerers

I would definitely say that Alexei is a unisex name meaning it's okay for both genders.
If you really love the name, and you are sure that's what you would want to name your child, go for it! It's your kid, so anyone's opinion on the name is kind of invalid (unless it's your spouse's opinion, of course).
Besides, the obvious nickname would be Alex. I don't think you have anything to worry about. But don't let anyone stop you from giving your kid the name you want. I see Alexei as a fairly normal name. At least you're not naming them Leaf, or T-Shirt or something.

I think Alexei is a good name. It could almost go either way; boy or girl. As long as you think that is a good name for a boy, then it is. It doesn't matter what others think about your childs name, it only matters what you choose. Name the child whatever you like and in time, your friends will begin to accept it and see it as a good name too (least they should if they are your friend). I like how it sounds more unique :)

Alexei is an acceptable boy name. Just know that it sounds pretty Russian.

Name your child should be what you and the father of the child want it too be, Not what your friends want. If you like the name Alexei for a boy, Then that's all that should matter.
