Catholic boys name help!

Hello Berries!
[name_f]Baby[/name_f] boy due in [name_f]June[/name_f], husband and I have narrowed it down to [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] or [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] as a first name I think. These have been the running two faves for a while now. I need some middle name help, and I am also curious as to which name you prefer? We are catholic and wanted a saintly first name, we tend to gravitate there for middles as well, but are open to anything being that the first names are saintly. I would say our style is Traditional, [name_m]Strong[/name_m], Masculine, and I like to try to think of something that sounds like he could be a [name_m]Knight[/name_m], LOL!
Not sure if this helps, but for context if he had been a girl his name would have been [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. Surname starts with D!
So let me know: middle suggestions, and preference on [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] vs [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]!
Thank you so much in advance!:heart:

I prefer [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]!
Maybe [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Jude[/name_m]?

I have a preference for [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], I just love how it sounds and it makes me think :crossed_swords: too!

I actually think [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] D_ or [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] D_ would make a great name, but perhaps you’d want to save the other in case you may have another boy?

I like both names. Unless you’re super keen on alliteration (D-D), I probably prefer Xavier - I prefer Xave as a nickname over Dom (I get there’s Nick or Nico too - but I figure you would use Nicholas then?).

Here are some options for both:

Xavier Benedict (love, agree with above!)
Xavier Joseph
Xavier Michael
Xavier Francis
Xavier Alexander
Xavier Conrad
Xavier Lawrence
Xavier Patrick

Dominic Gabriel
Dominic Ambrose
Dominic Blaise
Dominic Jude
Dominic Peter
Dominic Aloysius
Dominic Roman
Dominic Sebastian

I love both too! But as soon as I saw [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] I had to share that I’ve been loving the combo [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Christophe[/name_m] for a while (Christophe, not Christopher). And St. [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] is a thing! I also am part of a small Catholic community, and I know someone who gave their baby the middle [name_m]Athanasius[/name_m]. [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Athanasius[/name_m] sounds so cool too!

Though I just gave combos for [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], there’s one problem with the name - is it zayv-yer or ex-ayv-yer? People pronounce it both ways, so take into consideration that you should like both pronunciations before you go with that.

Both are good names, I think [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] is cooler/trendier sounding atm. Middle name suggestion is [name_m]Bede[/name_m] :pray: though you could choose any apostle, [name_m]Francis[/name_m] or a saint from the county you are from.

dominic!

[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] for me, too! I love the nn [name_m]Dom[/name_m], too (Genevieve and [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] would be a great sibset, too; before I realized that [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] was your girls’ option, I misread your message and thought you said [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] was your daughter already; I’m in love with [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] together!).

What about:

[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Theo[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Amias[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] Augustine/August

Good luck!
