conflicting birth dates[]
template lists:
- Origin
- January 14, 1997
- Los Angeles California, USA
Biography lists:
- She was born on January 14, 1996.
Which is correct? 96 or 97?
Modern_Family_Timeline#1996 also draws the date into question:
- "March 15: Alex is born."
So is it March 15th or Jan 14th? Perhaps citing sources would clear this up?
For frame of reference: do we know what year it is in each season of the show? I rarely remember the year being referenced. Tycio (talk) 05:52, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
Alex's sweet 16 (5x12, "Under Pressure") aired on January 15, 2014, which if we're going off of airdates (which seems to be the case with Haley's birthday) that places her birthday on January 15, 1998. Illogical, since we know Luke turned 11 on November 28 (and now that I think about it, I don't know if that exact date was ever mentioned -- I digress, though), 2009 (1x09, "Fizbo"), putting his birthday in November 1998. Technically possible, but not likely. So short answer: my guess is January 14/15, 1996/97, long answer: sitcoms are really hard to make timelines of because the writers don't expect anyone to think that much about comedy.
Full name?[]
Do we know if Alex's full name is canonically Alexandra Anastasia? I've also heard Alexandria, referencing the library, which is definitely fitting, but I don't remember either being mentioned in the series. To be fair, Alex being a nickname is a reasonable assumption -- nicknames as full names are a recent trend and we know she was born in '96/'97. Definitely overthinking this, though, lol. Also, was her middle name mentioned anywhere in the show? It seems like people are pretty unanimous on the characters' names, so presumably there's a source?
