Off Topic Pronunciation of our mannager's first name

As someone who shares the same first name as AN and also hailing from 'North of the border' - the correct pronunciation of his first name is 'Alex' as in sex and not 'Alec' as in Ecuador (and the version Michael Bailey always uses on his 'Mustard' reports!!!! - AAARRGH!!!)

 

I was always led to believe that the Jocks pronounced 'Alex' as 'Alec' although I stand to be corrected

 

Didn't mcnasty refer to him as Alec in an early presser and get corrected that it was Alex "Ah-licks"

Bah!

 

I know it;s a few years since I left Scotland, but there were definitely 2 spellings and I think the 'Alec' version is mostly dying out.
Of course 'Sandy' Lyle is actually 'Alexander' Lyle!!!!

 

A couple of my pals,who were born in Scotland insist
the pronunciation is ALEC and not ALEX.
Alex they insist is for females

Apparently Fergie preferred ALEC. .

 

I wonder if that is more common in the lowlands of Scotland. I hail from the highlands and my siblings (5) all call me ALEX and I am definitely male!!!!

 

We have a glory hunter in our midst

 

Not really - it's just that I find mispronunciation of words/names irritating!!!!

PS - no, I'm not changing my username to 'Braveheart'!!!!
