Why is the NT-1 Gundam called the Alex Gundam? I don't remember that ever being said in the OVA.

Because RX = Arex = Alex

RX sounds a bit like Alex if you say it in a Japanese accent. That's about it. And yea, the original Gundam could just as well have been called Alex going by that, but I guess the White Base crew didn't think of that.

It's also an acronym for Armored Layers EXperimental because of the chobham armor.

Did they not have a better name for White Base? Pegasus sounded better imo.

It was actually called the Alex in the OVA. During the Cyclops attack in episode 4 Chris protests about trying to board the Gundam under such fire, and her superior asks if she would rather let the enemy get "the Alex".

No, they called it Gundam because that was its name and this was before there was a retcon adding about a dozen more running around at the same time.

I don't know what's funnier, these acronyms, or the fact that they manage to sound more professional than the SEED ones.

The NT-1 isn't ever called "NT-1" in the OVA. It's only referred to as the "Gundam" or "the Alex."
