9/22 January 1918
- Alix of Hesse, born a granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, was given the name Alexandra Feodorovna upon being received into the Russian Orthodox Church
- She spoke Russian, English and French.
- Alix is not her "true" name in a sense that Alexandra would then be a false name. Alix is her birth name which she changed upon her conversion. She became the most notable as Alexandra.
- Alexandra’s first attempts at breastfeeding did not,however, go to plan, for baby Olga rejected her and, as Nicholas recalled, it ‘ended up with Alix very successfully feeding the son of the wet-nurse, while the latter gave milk to Olga’!
- Is sometimes called Alecky, Sonny, Alix, Wify and Sunshine.
