[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love it. It was our boy name (didn’t know the sex beforehand and had a girl). People will be confused about pronunciation, though: Zavier or Ex-zavier. (Correct answer: Zavier) It’s more popular in AA families, and that matters to some people.[/quote] I had no clue. I've only heard the EX avier pronunciation.[/quote] DP. I have also only heard Ex-eh-vee-uhr.[/quote] Xavier University, and St. Francis Xavier, are specifically Zay-vee-er. Which, phonetically, makes sense. You wouldn't say ex-ylophone, or Ex-erxes. Or even Ex-anax. In English, X at the beginning of a word says /z/.[/quote] Yes! Was just going to write the same thing about how people say "zylophone " , but fumble with pronouncing Xavier correctly. I know a couple of Xaviers. Really great name. And have a son at Xavier University in Ohio. Go X![/quote]
