Comments and insights on the name Alexia: | Edit

My name is Alexia and I got called dyslexia alexia, anorexia alexia, and sexy lexy! It was all in good fun, though, and I LOVED that I was the only person in my entire school with that name.

The Random House Dictionary defines alexia as "a neurologic disorder marked by loss of the ability to understand written or printed language, usually resulting from a brain lesion or a congenital defect." Though the word is Greek in origin, Alexia is still used as a girls' name in Greek (go figure).
