My name is Alexis and I am just now searching to see what it means. I have seen many where it means Helper and Defender. But i am neither. I am not well with helping unless someone asks and I don't defend very much. But i guess you could say I do defend my friends and my little sister. But thanks for helping me discover my name. :]
