It's all about the X-Men

Thank you so much to everyone who replied to my post asking for some feedback on our top ten for boy name picks. It turns out that my (otherwise very cool) boyfriend really doesn’t want to compromise on [name]Xavier[/name] for comic book reasons best known to himself. Thankfully, I love it. [name]Arlo[/name] and [name]Cole[/name] are my two name loves with [name]Xavier[/name]. Can you let me know which is your favourite of these four and if there are any you would avoid?

[name]Arlo[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Cole[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Xavier[/name] [name]Arlo[/name]
[name]Xavier[/name] [name]Cole[/name]

His top choice is [name]Xavier[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] ([name]Thomas[/name] is his name). What do you think? I love [name]Cole[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] but come on, has anyone else had a boyfriend who wants to pick ALL the names?!

Many thanks, [name]Lucy[/name]

1 [name]Xavier[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] - can’t go wrong with these two classic names. If your boyfriend gets his way this time, you get to choose the next child’s name. I think [name]Xavier[/name] and [name]Arlo[/name] would be wonderful as brothers (much better than [name]Xavier[/name] and [name]Cole[/name]) so I think you should save [name]Arlo[/name] for a future son.

2 [name]Xavier[/name] [name]Cole[/name] - not a fan of [name]Cole[/name] but it sounds cool in the middle spot.

My favorite is [name]Xavier[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] and I would leave out the name [name]Arlo[/name] alltogether

I am not a fan of [name]Arlo[/name], but either [name]Cole[/name] or [name]Thomas[/name] is great!

[name]Love[/name] the X-Men! We have [name]Xavier[/name] on our boy’s list and [name]Phoenix[/name] and [name]Raven[/name] on our middle name list! We also had [name]Logan[/name] on our list, but it is too popular now.

[name]How[/name] about [name]Cole[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]? 3 names seem to be a lot at first. But I love the sound of it and all both of your names would be included.

I opened it expecting X-men names! Haha…

[name]Cole[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]!!! or [name]Xavier[/name] [name]Cole[/name]. I think [name]Cole[/name] is such a great name, I love [name]Cole[/name] [name]Porter[/name], [name]Nat[/name] [name]King[/name] [name]Cole[/name]… [name]Cole[/name] [name]Turner[/name] on Charmed!!! [name]Just[/name] saying… All great names though. I love me some [name]Thomas[/name] as well!

[name]Xavier[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] does sound good together I admit, and I like the idea of carrying on the tradition in [name]Tom[/name]'s family - his middle name is his dad’s first. [name]Mischa[/name], I like your idea of having dibs on the next baby’s name (if we have another!) Uselesskitty, I vetoed [name]Logan[/name] for it’s popularity too! [name]Cole[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] does sound great, but maybe a bit too long after his surname is added.

Many thanks, [name]Lucy[/name]

Sorry to disappoint [name]Ottilie[/name]! [name]Just[/name] being incredulous that it has taken baby name discussions for me to realise I’ve been going out with a wannabe Big Bang [name]Theory[/name] geek for 3 years, haha!

My boyfriend is right with yours. If he had his way his kids would be [name]Dante[/name] (from Devil [name]May[/name] Cry), [name]Virgil[/name] (also from Devil [name]May[/name] Cry), Ninja, Claymore and Wesker (Resident Evil).
I think [name]Xavier[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] is handsome and I like that it sticks with family tradition. But I would fight long and hard for rights to any other children if you have more.

I like [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] and [name]Xavier[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] the best. :slight_smile:

[name]Arlo[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] is a stunner.

I really like [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Xavier[/name].

(And I have a friend whose husband is trying to convince her to let him use two comic book names for their child. Oddly he’s usually the conservative one. lol.)

Haha, yeah. When I started the name conversations with my boyfriend he only suggested musician and painter names, not really names he liked just people he liked. [name]Xavier[/name] is really cool though, and you can use nn [name]Xavi[/name] which is super sweet!

Oh dear I got one of those too! My partner has somehow managed to con me into giving our kids names from his favourite anime! I didn’t even realise before way after they had both gotten their names…! Amazing!

[name]Xavier[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] is perfect! [name]Cole[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] is a close second for me if you want to fight for one of your own name choices.

What is it with boys and superheroes?!
