[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went with Xavier, with Xavi as a nickname. Sometimes we get "Zavier" or "ex-zavier" for pronunciation, but easily corrected. We chose Xavier over the Javier spelling for sports reasons (oh, DH...). Our other considerations were Oscar, Santiago, Emanuel, Tadeo, and... Joaquin.[/quote] Oh man, I'm a non-native Spanish speaker, and I said Xavier with a "z" or "s" sound in my head even knowing it was supposed to be a Spanish pronunciation. Javier with an "h", but the X brought it back to the English pronunciation. [/quote] Xavi Hernandez Cruess and Xabi (Xabier) Alonso are two Spanish soccer stars. Thus, Xavier and not Javier. Our last name is also clearly Spanish, so I think that helps.[/quote]
