Boys names with X in them?

[May2021Mummy]

Really struggling with boys names but I quite like Dexter and was wondering if there are any other boys names with an X I might like?

Thank you 😊

Daxton
Baxter (like the soup)
Saxton (like the salt)
Axle
Caxton (like the printer)
Jaxon (misspelling of Jackson)
Jaxson (ditto)

Paxton (like the stuffing)

Daxton Baxter (like the soup) Saxton (like the salt) Axle Caxton (like the printer) Jaxon (misspelling of Jackson) Jaxson (ditto) Lex (Luther) Paxton (like the stuffing) Rex Fox

This list is pushing the term ‘name’ quite far

Alexander/Alexis etc Max/Maxim/Maximus/Maximilian
Xavier
Felix
Axel

That’s about it. Everything else is made up. I really wouldn’t call your child Jaxon etc, it as a very downmarket vibe and isn’t likely to do him any favours.

And yet they are all boy's names.

Some are more recent American eg. Daxton, Jaxon Jaxson etc.

Some are classic English - Rex

Some come from Old English or French eg. Saxton (man of Saxony), Baxter (Baker)

Some from Latin eg Paxton (Peace town).

I love Alexis.

Felix

I take your point, I didn't phrase as well as I should have -

What I meant was the Jaxon, Daxton type names have a downmarket 'made up' vibe, in both the US and UK. That's not a reason not to use them, but some people have a reaction to them, and it is worth thinking about that before going for it. Names like Paxton, Saxton, and Baxton will end up being thought of in the same way, because while they might be old words, but they are rarely if ever used as names.

Hi, I'm new here

Here is my top 10:

1. Xavi
2. Xyler
3. Xion
4. Xaiden
5. Xenos
6. Xen
7. Xylus
8. Xyion
9. Xayn

10. Xyan

Huxley

If you like Dexter I'd use that.
Baxter
Jaxson
Xander
Alex
Dax
Saxon

Claxon

Ajax
Alexander nn Alex/Lex/Xander
Axel
Baxter
Dax
Dexter
Felix
Maddox
Maximus
Maxwell
Paxton
Phoenix
Saxon
Xavier

There are some godawful names with x in them.

The ones I actually think are nice are:

Alexander (Alex, not Xander)
Max
Rex
Felix
Xavier

Already suggested, but lovely names. I prefer these to Dexter which is ok in an American or maybe Irish accent. In SE England, it is Daxtah, as it also would be in Australia for example. Do not like at all.

Dextah I mean!

Alexander or Xavier are lovely!
