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.

I love all your names. Bodhi is my favourite but Xavi is lovely too. I've never actually heard Xavi as a full name, only Xavier. I prefer Xavi.

Before I opened the thread and saw the choices, my head was saying Bailey. So Bodhi not far off. Xavi sounds too similar to Rafferty, especially if his nickname were to become Raffi.

You are braver than me with names and I love it! Other names I LOVE but are not brave enough to use are Banks, Mars and Oxford (nn Ox). Of the names you listed, I think I like Bodhi best :)

Unless you have a reason to pronounce Xavi as Zavi I don’t think you should use it. It’s one of my favourite names too, but based on my Catalan background- and I’d pronounce it chavvy

What about Javier, shortened to Javi? (Pronunciation Havi). Xavi is lovely but it will not go down well in the uk..:

Elias? X

I don't think either go at all. Bodhi is a bit ... I know we can't say chavvy, but I'm not sure what the alternative politically correct version is Blush

Xavi seems like a nickname.

Xavier, on the other hand, is lovely.

Dave. That’s the one you want.

Balonzette · 17/10/2021 00:46

Although, thinking about it, Xavier too has a very different vibe to India and Rafferty so doesn't really 'go'
