    <VENT> annoyed...

    ok so DS is almost four and when i was choosing names i wanted to spell Xavier phentically (sp?) so i had Zayvia but to me it looked to girly so i stuck with Zayvier. When DS was about 3 my sister says to me why didnt you spell it Zayviar...Grrrrr stupid baby brain why didnt i think of it!!! So now im annoyed coz i dont like the spelling!! sorry bout my vent im just really ticked off i mean he has to spell it for the rest of his life anyway so i could of mixed it up more!!! (vent over)

    Don't worry I'm sure ds won't really mind either way.

    If it really upsets you that much, why don't you just have it changed? You just do it at the department of births, deaths & marriages.

    How do you pronounce it?

    I'd pronounce the differently depending on their spelling.

    I like it the way you have spelt it, and I'm sure Ds wont know either way. And thanks for the reminder I still have to officially name my DD - ooops.

    Personally, of the two I think it is better with the 'e'. It is less like caviar that way!

    My Dh and i had this same kind of thing we ended up sticking with Xavier.. apparently ( according to one website) anyone who knows english properly will pronounce it zay-vee-ahh
    but so far most people say X-ay-vee-ahh ahh well i dont think it matters how you spell a name these days no one is going to know hos to say or spell it!

    Thumbs up

    nah nah your spelling is so much better with the ' er ' on the end ... cause with the ' ar ' on the end as your sister suggested reminds me of caviar ... i vote to keep the ' er ' on the end as you have it
