I think pronunciation might be an issue -the only xaviers I know are HAV EE ERS

I love Xavier Charles but can see why you'd go for John if it's a family name.

BTW - I'd pronounce it Zav vee ay but that could be because I have a couple of French friends who pronounce it like that.

I think it's clear pronunciation will be an issues for Xavier esp when traveling etc. Apart from MN, another friend of mine informative me that it's (the English version is) zay-vee-er. Which i'm not sure i like as much as 'ecks-ZAY-vee-er'

I was thinking of Charles Xavier from the X-Man Blush what can i say...Hugh Jackman!

Xavier (zay-vee-er) Surname just isn't doing it for me.

Lawrence John...it is then. However I do quite like Rupert! My poor DH Grin
