Thoughts on the name Xavier?

I like it a lot, but I'm not sold on it since it doesnt have a nickname, and I'm lazy and can't imagine saying a 4 syllabal name all the time. haha.

    I don't like it at all.

    ETA: I should add ... I just don't like the look or sound of it. It also sounds like you are trying to name your baby some comic superhero name.

    The Xavier I know pronounces his name Zavier (3 syll) and is nn is Zave (rhymes with Dave)  I love the name, but it does have some religious connetations..

    I like it a lot and have also heard it pronounced like "Zavier." I think Zave is a cute nickname for it.

    The Xavier I know is the same as this. The X is pronounced as a Z (like xylophone) and they call him Xave/Zave. I like it. I'm not aware of the religious connotations though?...

    this was my initial thought too. 

    it's an okay name.

    I have a nephew named Xavier, and people in their 20s/30s tend to have one of two reactions to this name: girls go "Like the Cabbage Patch Kids!" and guys go "Yeah! X-Men!" This sounds sexist but there have been very few exceptions. It's pretty funny.

    We  pronounce the X (so it's Ex- avier) and usually call our Xavier "X". It's cute because his brother's name starts with an O, so they are X and O (hugs and kisses, for those slow people out there Wink)

    That said, as much as I love my little nephew, I don't love the name. It's such a mouthful, plus it's getting pretty popular.

    I guess technically now I should be SecondBabyMomma Lilypie Third Birthday tickers Lilypie First Birthday tickers

    I love the name Xavier....it would be on my boy's list if we were having one!

    but I think I would use the "zavier" pronunciation too!  With that you could use Zave or Z.  If you love the "ex-avier" pronounciation  I love X for a nn like PP stated!

    i know a Xavier, pronounced "Zavier."  Nickname X.  It's not my style, but I think it's cute and it works on the little boy I know.

    I love it! My husband wants it as a middle name if we have a son next. And OF COURSE it has nicknames: Zay. Zave, etc.

    I know someone who used Xavier and I also know someone who named their DS Xander...another unique possibility for you.

    I don't love "X" names for some reason.  I agree that not having a nickname for a 4 syllable name would be tough.

    LOVE it! It's our middle name if we're having a boy.
