I love Xavier! He was the coolest boy in my sixth form and captain of everything!

Anyway, love the name, think it goes better than Kayden and is cool for a child or an adult.

very cool! how do you feel about giving such a different name compared to the 'norm'? we're thinking of a name thats not common at all, but are more worried about what everyone else thinks which is silly, but cant seem to help it.

Nice!
Only possible problem is people mangling the pronunciation.

I love it - whichever way it's pronounced. I think the mispronunciation and misspelling might wind you up though.

Very nice. Fits in with every name except Tyler.

Mummyto3plusbump · 22/01/2010 10:18

thanx ladies.

only thing I was worried about was it not being able to be shortened.

Bellasyummymummy - dont tell friends/family till after you have named baby. It will only cause arguments.

All three Xaviers I know pronounce it Zav-e-ay.

Mummyto3plusbump · 22/01/2010 10:26

Zavier or Exzavier. Not sure. Im having a wobble on it though. Our Surname is 3 sylables starting with S and its a bit of a mouthful.

I'd pronounce it Ksa-vee-er.

stuffedmk · 22/01/2010 11:11

I think it is a lovely name but the only one I have ever met is a girl, she tends to get called Zavvie mostly though.
Great name I just can't imagine it on a boy now though lol

bibbitybobbityhat · 22/01/2010 11:13

Great name!

Ziggurat · 22/01/2010 13:27

If you're wanting to shorten the name and like X, what about Alexander, but known as Xander?

mathanxiety · 22/01/2010 15:42

The US Xaviers who went to school with oldest 2 DCs were Zave-yer, just like Saviour but with a Z.

St. Francis Xavier is usually pronounced this way in Ireland.

Lulabell · 22/01/2010 17:18

My dh loves this name, he's french and pronounces it Kza-vee-ay. So sonniebonnie start and cremedementhe ending. I also love it. Nickname-wise, those we know go by Zav (but written Xav).

mummyloveslucy · 22/01/2010 17:53

I love it.

wondawoman1 · 30/04/2012 18:07

Xavier or Hamish? My Dh is scottish and I am Irish, my family hate Hamish and I havent said anything to them about Xavier for fear of what the reaction may be! .............Gutted as I really loved Hamish :_(

Our Surname is Mackie , just don't know if Xavier Mackie goes together?
