[quote=Anonymous]This is my kid's name. He's white, we are Catholic, and named our son for St. Francis Xavier. There's literally a Catholic University bearing this name. Your husband may be using the cultural appropriation thing as an excuse because he doesn't like the name??? For what it's worth, the name is not complicated at all. Nobody makes fun of him. However, he does get called X or X-Man by many people (which I think is just fine). Lots of people also mispronounce his name (ex-zav-yer) instead of simply Zav-yer. For the same reason we don't say ex-zie-la-phone, Xavier should not be pronounced ex-zav-yer. But lots of names get mispronounced, so whatever.[/quote]
