Xavier

[~kellie~]

I really like this name, but after having a name where I have to had to correct people of the spelling my whole life, was wondering what peoples thoughts were on this one? do you think I'd be correcting people all the time?

I personally LOVE this name... it was the name we had picked if our next was a boy. (like seriously we picked it not long after DS was born lol)

But, i wont be using it as a friend of mine had a son recently and used it..... i was guttered but i will always think highly of it. LOVE IT!

As for correcting people, not a chance. Although it is a different name, i have never met anyone who didnt know how to spell it!!!!

If you love it, go for it!!! Its a strong, manly name!

Goodluck

I love it... but my son is Zavier, pronounced with a Z not an Ex sound.

When I say Zavier, most people spell it right, and if you pronounce it Exavier, then folks will spell it Xavier.... If you pronuonce it the way you spell it, you'll be fine.....

The correct pronunciation is Zayvier, and it's one of my fave names. Only problem is some people say X - avier (gawd knows why) and it drives my GF nuts.

Xavier is how I would spell it, but I do have a friend who recently named her son Zavier. With the Z it looks more like the sound IYKWIM, but I personally like it spelled with an X.

Lulu, I personally hate the "X" being pronounced, which is why I went with the "Z".
I know of 2 other Xaviers who are pronouinced with the X.
I haven't met anyone who pronounces the Z that uses the X spelling.
