This is a good second name but not a great first name in my opinion. If a kid is a bit scrawny or less confident, it’s opening them up to all kinds of extra bullying.

Also, "Alpha" can mean a lot of different (positive) things not just physical prowess.

These people appear to have done "OK": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_(name) (it's a gender neutral name) But most didn't live in the era of wokeness where once perfectly acceptable words are now deemed negative. 🤦

Closing as "informative" but not "actionable". ✅
