Knights, you have found the "Achille's Heel" in the phonetics of Devanagari when trying to equate it with English. Not every English sound is equitable. A in At will practically be identical with E in Let. Good luck with that

I would write it like this...

ऐलिक्स or ऐलेक्स giving preference to the former.
