   There's only a slight difference. I believe this is because "Alexander"   
   is a Greek originated name which came into English via French, and the   
   French tend to pronounce "x" consonants mostly as [gz]. Russian   
   inherited it directly from Greek so we pronounce it the Greek way as   
   [ks].
