Xtin

Just saw this on facebook. Don't know if it's a boy or girl or how you would pronounce. Befuddled.

Oh I hope that's not supposed to be Christin. That's awful.

Skeemer

A friend used to sign her name Xten as a joke for her name Kristen when she was a teenager.

Wasn't my first instinct but you could very well be right. Terrible.

This cannot be the child's full name.  I refuse to believe it.  However, if it is, I vote with @WashingtonQueen.  No one would be this cruel.

Agreed. I'm hoping it's some messed up nickname, but I saw multiple people comment and tag the mom using only Xtin, so I'm not too optimistic. Unfortunately (fortunately) I'm not friends with the mother, so I can't investigate further.

Uh guys, it's a boy. So I'm guessing not Kristin.

Just discovered that piece.

I would pronounce it as *ex-tin*. Just No!

LoverOfCities

I think like Ex-tin, too? That's what my head says when I first see it.

Uh. I dunno.

Christian? Maybe? Let me go slam my head against the wall about 47 times, maybe then I'll understand it.

Yikes.

Could be Christian. I know it's pronounced differently, but that was my guess.

Dafuqisthis-tin?

My guess is it is someone's code name on FB so he isn't as googleable. Christian.

I think that's giving too much credit unfortunately.

MusicFanatic

LOL! I have no clue how to say this name. At all.

I'm thinking maybe it's "Stein?"

Disneygeek77

I have a feeling it's meant to be like Cristin/ Christin / Christian.

Poor kid.  He is going to have problems with his name for his entire life.  

LoverOfCities

I wish someone in the birth announcement (or whatever it was) would have asked, so we knew! hah

Lilleybug

It makes me think of Chritina Aguilera who went by Xtina so Xtin without the "a" maybe Kristin? Christian?

CruiseGirl28

People write Xmas for Christmas, so I bet its pronounced Christian. Awful.
