Alexis/Alexander is a common trans name choice here (bay area, California, Statesia), since (my presumption) you can go by Alex and slip into stealth mode as necessary. I’m sure that’s just one of the considerations that goes into choosing a name, I have not really done it and not for those reasons. A whopping twenty(ish) percent of the trans folk I know chose Alex variations, one because their name was already Alex and one because they like the name Alex. We haven’t gotten more into it than that.
