Boys names containing the letter X

We have a boy with an x name and I love the idea of giving dc2 a middle name with an X too.

Think we've chosen for a girl, but can't come up with the 'right' one for a boy
I've thought of:

Felix
Alex/Alexander
Dexter
Max
Rex
Phoenix
Fox

Can you think of any I haven't?

Pax
Maddox
Knox

Saxon, brilliant name!

Spaghettinetti · 17/04/2014 09:10

Xenophon
Ajax
Artaxerxes
Aximander
Praxiteles
Zeno and Zenobius could both be spelt with an x.

Note, I wouldn't go with any of these...

Spaghettinetti · 17/04/2014 09:11

Actually, I might use Ajax...

MrsTamkin · 17/04/2014 11:37

Haha Iove your note spaghetti! Ajax the most useable I agree but would mean the initials spelt a silly word...

I'm liking Baxter

Xolani? Pronounced Kul-Arh-Nee.

I went to primary school with a boy called Dax, never heard that name since and that was in the early nineties!

Jellaby · 18/04/2014 00:18

Axel is fabulous.

aoife24 · 18/04/2014 11:49

Xavier here too, great name. Or Xabi, as in Xabi Alonso, Basque.

Really love;
Fox
Lennox
Maddox
Knox
Hendrix

Really dislike;
Xavier
Jaxon

Not that they're particularly horrid names, but very common down here in Australia so a bit overused (if that's even a factor!) :)

I love Axel.

Jackson has the same sound but without the X.
