Is ALEXAVIER a cute unique name for a boy?

Alex + Xavier. I'm not gonna name my kid that, but it's SO darling cute! I have other names picked out for my future kids. I'm single %26amp; not pregnant. But I'm saying-down the line in the future.





I saw a baby boy on the bus with that name.

Is ALEXAVIER a cute unique name for a boy?
What a cool name! I love unique or made-up names.





Some of my favorites are Elouisa, Antoinette, Blessing, Mamie, Zaide, Chayton, Hawthorne, and Saylor.
Reply:It's unique, but not in a positive way. I have no idea what's darling or cute about taking a nickname and a saint name and mashing them together into a mess that will be continually misspelled, mispronounced and derided for the bearer's entire life.





Please consider that the "darling cute" little baby boy will one day be an adult man who will have to navigate the world with his name. What is a "darling cute" name going to do to his chances of success in that navigation?
Reply:I think it's okay.... I think it's trying too hard. I like each of the names separately. Alexander and Xavier. I think if you named a child this, almost everyone would confuse it with Alexander and the poor boy would constantly be correcting people on the pronunciation and spelling.





But just my opinion.
Reply:Nah..I think it's better to choose one or the other.





Combination names scream "MY PARENT"S COULDN"T DECIDE!"





no offense.
Reply:It's different.


I don't think I like it.


But it's sorta cute.
Reply:No, that's pretty trite. If you like both names, name it Alex Xavier.
Reply:I love it! I think that's one of the best combinations I've ever seen!
Reply:It's tacky in the extreme.
Reply:No. That's an awful name.
Reply:That is a pretty name. I like it.

  5. I named my Son Alexavier. Anyone who has ever heard it had nothing but good compliments about the name. No one who has ever called out his name has mispronounced it. And best of all so far, when his name is called he is the only Alexavier in the room.
