Picked out the name Xavier when doc said we were having little boy. Got all excited. Went to new doc yesterday, he had a look and said 'err, you're having a girl' :O
DH thinks we can use Xavier as girls name .

So, thinking about Eva? Or Gabriella? Really like Mia but DH hates it :( Anyone got any names I can steal? Haha.

The feminine of Xavier is Xaviera, but the only one I know of in RL is the Happy Hooker.

Some ideas based on the other names you mentioned: Rafaella, Michaela, Beatrix, Cosima, Amelia, Evadne.

my cousin is called xanphia

what about maia - nicer than mia i think.
and no, you can't use xavier for a girl imo. though i suppose it depends how you're going to pronounce it.

xaviera is apparently the spanish feminine of xaveir but i've never heard it IRL.

I'd have suggested Xanthe too!

Coralie is pretty.

Xanthe lovely but only if you wouldn't use Xavier if you had a boy in future.

Congratulations!

How about Xanthe?
