Xenia, the only "X" street name I can think of in DC

Xena, like the TV warrior princess

Wasn;t that the spoiled step daughter in the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt? She was epic.

For me, it’s B, E, F, G, H, O, P, R, and T plus all of the letters that you listed. Zero decent names that I actually like. I say this as someone whose own name begins with E!

On the bright side, being so picky made naming my children easy because I was able to quickly narrow down my choices and veto certain picks from the husband. (He vetoed many of my picks too.)

Now I’m wondering what your kids’ names are. You eliminated over half of the alphabet. That’s crazy to me.

Unsurprisingly, we’re having a difficult time finding a name that starts with X. Most of the ones that we have come across are strange.


Do not do this to your child.

What is wrong with you?

I knew someone with this name when I was a kid. She was kinda punk and totally pulled it off.

I also vote for putting the X name as the middle name.

I always loved the name. She went by Xochie (pronounced SO-chee)

Whoa! Did not know that was a girl’s name until this thread. I think of the tortilla chips at the grocery store

I am old but the Xaviera Hollander association is… not good.

Please find another way to honor this relative.

Don't do this to your daughter.

Xochitl - love this!

Also, have two good friends named Ximena and Xiomara (goes by Xio). Have always thought they were great names!
