In greek my name means helper and defender. It means popular and well-known.It is pronounced a-lek-sis. I like my name because it also means athletic, insecure about herself sometimes. Means you are kind and helpful. All that represents me in a way. Im athletic, im sometimes insecure about myself, im kind and im helpful. Alexis, huh a very interesting name. I got it from my grandma. I also got my middle name from my grandma which is Nola. It means a girl that is not the best at relationships but stays commited. Alexis's are funny, different and stays their self at all times. Not a fake. She is easy to make upset though. Nevertheless me, this Alexis ,is a great person at heart. She has her flaws but who doesn't right. She isn't very patient though.
