Saw this on PBS this morning, they do a long list of kids' birthdays and this was one o them.

Elex' Zander

Or

Elek' Zander

I honestly can't remember which one it was, but you get the idea.

I'm assuming it's said 'Alek' which in that case, it's stupid. Spell it right.

I hate when people spell a kids name all jacked up to be original, because it's not, it's just silly imho.

No, I know it was with an E, but I was saying that it's said like Alek, which in that case, it's stupid. It's stupid even if it's not. I don't get why people purposely misspell their children's names. Nobody will ever pronounce them right and I'm pretty sure every teacher will think 'WTF were your parents thinking kid?!' I know I'd think that!

Lol I have a relative who is a teacher and she said quite often she meets parents and suddenly everything about the kid makes sense. I think this name probably just takes the guess work out of it - you don't even *need* to meet the parents to know they're insane!
