Input needed on our possible boy name

~Kat~~Kat~
in Baby Names
According to our 16 week u/s DC #3 is probably a boy. DH and I had agreed on Xavier (or so I thought). We have been referring to him as Baby X since we are keeping the name a secret and don't want our older boys spilling the secret. So today I actually called him Xavier and DH said, "What? I thought he was Xander!" I wouldn't have agreed to Xander. I think it sounds a bit odd without the full name Alexander. Anyhow, then he says that he could agree to Xavier if we use the middle name Eli. Xavier Eli "Hanson"? I don't think it really flows, but I do like that it is a total compromise for DH and I and that Xavier, according to some sources, means "bright" like DH's name and that Eli is the first three letters of my name, Elizabeth. I'm just not totally sold on it. What do you ladies think?

    I think Xavier Eli sounds great together.  I would use it. Xavier is one of my favorite boy names btw.

    I don't think that it flows badly. I definitely agree with you that Xavier is better than Xander.

    I like it. And I think Xavier goes nicely with your other boys' names.

    I'm not a fan of Xavier.

    DH's aunt just had a baby boy. His name is Zander, which I do like.

    I love the MN you've chosen. I'd like to suggest Zander Eli.

    I don't like Xavier and my son's name is Xander. It is easy to see where I stand.

    Xander Eli or Xavier Eli would be fine.

    Sorry to PPs but I strongly dislike Xander. I think Xavier Eli sounds fine, and actually being able to compromise and both be happy with baby boy #3 is priceless :) What about Xavier Elijah? Or Xavier Eliot? Xavier Elias?

    Xavier Eli is great.  And I prefer it to Xander, I agree with you, I don't love it as a stand alone name.

    I think Xavier Eli Hanson flows nicely. Maybe it just takes some getting used to.

    I like both Eli and Xavier, but I don't think Xavier Eli flows nicely. I prefer Eli Xavier.
