Boys names to go with India and Rafferty

[3babessoon]

What do you think would work best……

Xavi or Bodhi?

Happy to have other suggestions fired this way as not found any name we love yet. Also quite like names like Noah and Finn.

How about Xavier - Xavi for short?

I also like Innes, Oliver, Dominic and Ruaridh (pr. Rory).

I thought Alexander before reading your options.

Of those two, I prefer Xavi. But how are you pronouncing it? It’s a Catalan/Valencian shortening for Xavier and pronounced ‘chavvy’.

Xavi is pronounced Chavi - I wouldn't
Bodhi is ok if he has a mate called Doyle

I think Bodhi would go very well!

We’d pronounce it Zavi

You might but those who know how to pronounce it will say, chavvy.

I know someone with those names and the sibling is Jasper.

Bodhi sounds better

I would go with Xavier pronounced the French way, nicknamed Xavi (Zavi).

I wouldn't use Bodhi unless you were Buddhist. I've seen it suggested that non-Buddhists using it is insensitive, as it's a deeply religious term. How about Brodie?

Bodhi means something in Gaelic too (not sure what).

Gabriel
Casper
Lysander

Bodhi seems really common. I know Xavier in the French term and a few people shortened to Xav orXavi.

What about Grayson or Cornelius?

Xander? Cosmo?

Is your Rafferty as Raffi? The reason I ask is that I beamed my third Rufus and although I really like the name I curse it every time I try and say Rafferty and Rufus because inevitably my tongue trips over them. I'd say if the two Bodhi would be less problematic but just have a think about how tongue twisty it might be saying those two words together for all eternity!

First name that came to mind was Blake. India, Rafferty and Blake.

Xavier with the nn Xavi.
