[edit] Linus surname

Where has she been credited or her name even mentioned as Alex Linus? By birth her surname is Rousseau, if it came from her mother, though more than likely it would be her father's surname she carried. Regardless, since she is just credited as "Alex" and we have not heard anything specific for her surname, I'm going to change the title to just her forename. Tphi 01:32, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I moved the page back to Alex Linus after what happened in The Man from Tallahassee, in which she has no knowledge of her mother, thinking her dead. --thedemonhog talk contributions 04:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
As I stated above, we don't have any surname for Alex - be it Rousseau, Linus or any other name. Its not been mentioned on the show, and she isn't credited as having one in ABC's guest cast list. For all we know she has been told she was adopted so hasn't taken Linus' name. Keeping the article as just Alex (Lost) is best, as until anything is confirmed its just fan speculation.

I guess. --thedemonhog talk contributions 00:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Realistically, she should just be Alex as we have no indication she even is Rousseau's daughter, it is just speculation by the characters on the show, until her surname is revealed by an official source. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mtowers (talkcontribs) 17:33, 16 April 2007 (UTC).
It's not specualtion that she is Rousseau's daughter. That's like saying we don't actually know that Michael is Walt's father because we never saw Walt's birth or conception. --thedemonhog talk contributions 23:54, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
In Through The Looking Glass (2) it is revealed that she is Daniel Rousseau's daughter. comment was added by pfitzner2 16:43, 24 May 2007
We have known that since "Maternity Leave." --thedemonhog talkeditscount 01:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Alex had no idea that her mother was Rousseau, which is why I think it is now safer to assume that her name is Linus. --thedemonhog talkeditscount 19:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Although no official sources of any kind have listed a surname for her, so we should just refer to her as Alex Tphi 23:00, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
