Hilaria isn’t the only Baldwin to try on a new name.

Alec Baldwin, born Alexander Rae Baldwin III, was called Alex and even Xandy — until he transferred to NYU in the late ’70s and started going by the tonier “Alec.”

The “30 Rock” star registered as Alex Baldwin when he began his undergrad studies at the George Washington University, according to the GW Hatchet student newspaper.

But the 62-year-old’s time at GW didn’t exactly go as planned. A political science major at the time, he lost the race for student government president and demanded a recount — but still lost. So he promptly left the school — and “Alex” — behind.
