Lux, Huxley and others ending in X

[wheniwishuponastar]

Ok these are my favourite names....
Lux for a girl (heard it in the Virgin Suicides film - yes, I know not a good reference. But also its Latin for light, and my name means light in another language. I also like Tripp, as in Tripp Fontaine, from the Virgin Suicides. But even I realise this isn't a good one.)
Hux or Huxley for a boy
Obviously I couldn't use both.

My husband doesn't like either. The furthest he will go with "X" thing is Max. Which is quite nice. If a little boring.

My grandfather's name was Basil, which is quite cute. But will probably end up as Baz.

I also really like Van (as in Van Hansis - very beautiful American actor - his full name is Evan).

I also like American names in general: Parker, Madison, Cody.

I realise I am probably coming off as having really horrible taste. But thought I'd better get some feedback to either put me off, or at least air the names.

There is a little boy on Daybreak right now called Baxter! I like it and it really suits him. RindercillaI know a dark-haired Xanthe too.

Are you serious OP?

Lux flakes are GREAT for messy play!

Baxter is sweet although it makes me think of the old man who was friends with Adrian mole.
Kreecher yes I am serious and also like some of the alternatives people have suggested.
Now I just need a thread on how to persuade your husband but he is quite stubborn.

I am feelin' a Sarah Palin vibe here...

how about lomax shortened to max for dp
or hendrix shortened to henry again for dp

Axelle for a girl.

No idea what that means I'm afraid. But I don't like Sarah palin.

I like the name Lux from virgin suicides... what about Beatrix?

How pg are you?

Good idea thanks again freesias

Thanks rouge - not sure about Beatrix makes me think of potter.
My hub and I are trying for a baby at the mo. But it takes me a long time to make up my mind!

Going back to the American theme - I also like Ferris. Can't believe more people haven't used this. Though what puts me off is it sounds like Ferret.

I can't say that I'm keen on Lux for a girl.

How about Saxon for a boy?

for a girl how about
bellatrix nn bella or trixie
margaux

Yes, Phlox is pronounced Flox. It's a very pretty flower and also means flame in Greek.

I don't really like long first names, sorry! (me and my hub both have short first names and long surnames) Saxon could be nice - but Anglo Saxon? I forget what Saxon actually means.

I think i prefer the spelling of Flox - and like the meaning.

I think Saxon means of German origin. My hub is Jewish so wouldnt be up for that i don't think. shame as its a nice name.

Xenia is a great X name for a girl. I like Lux.

Finally someone likes Lux!

Uxue. Girl's name, very pretty.

Lux = soap. I always think of what names rhyme with too...

How do you pronouce Uxue?

Lux: rhymes with F**ks? is that what you mean?

ush-shu-way or something like that.

ush-shu-way. that could work.
