Xerxes

Sweet Sadie Mae

Ya, that's what DH wanted to name LO if it were a boy. NO WAY!!! Luckily "it" was a girl and we both loved the same name from the beginning. If we have another one and it's a boy it's going to be a brutal fight.

Eww that name reminds me of the Persian ruler in the movie 300. Love the movie but dislike the negative vibe I feel towads the name.

. I hope he changes his mind on this one! Maybe he will compromise with Xavier or something.

Ugh, that horrible!  So glad you had a little girl

That looks more like a sound than a name.

I kind of like it

I work at a kids' camp and I know that child would have to go thru a lot with a name as unusual as that. At pick-up children are told to come to the front desk over the intercom, and strange names are butchered on a daily basis (not to mention teachers, subs, classmates, etc). As a person with a strange name myself, I STRONGLY recommend that you stick with names strangers will be able to figure out easily. There's nothing like getting stuck with a bad nickname from someone's mistake

It's definitely a good thing that you had a girl!

I have such a crush on this name after watching One Night With The King.  I wouldn't really use it though.  I don't think it's that awful though because it is an actual name versus the other name atrocities out there.  I'm just not that brave with names.
