I modified Alex's name. His given name was Alexey also and they gave him a nick name which also sounded feminine. When I mentioned his name to others, they all asked about "her". I decided not to have to put him through that.
When I asked him he said he wanted to go by his nickname. When I picked him up I used both. Thinking he would have to get used to his "given" name and we could call him by his nickname.
Once here though, he only wants to go by Alex. I will use his nickname but no one else outside of family knows it, per his desires.
This is a hot topic. Do a search and you will find all kind of responses. Do what you feel is best for you and your child.
