    Its Ἀλέξανδρος in Greek, so I assume Alexandros like in English, but I don't know the meaning of the Greek accents in this case, so I may be wrong.

    Just pronounce Alexander with different ending Alexandros and give emphasis on the second vowel Al'exandros.
    To be perfect, you also need to pronounce d as "the", even though in ancient pronounciation it's more likely that it was pronounced d.
