[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there this is for myself, not a child. I’ve been looking for a new name for a while now and I really like the nickname ‘X’ so I’ve figured I could find something that starts with that. So yknow still have the nn.
Im looking for male leaning names
I’d prefer if they had the actual ‘X/Ex’ pronounciation over a ‘Zee’ one.
Only one I can find is [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] - some pronunciations of this name pronounce the x as an x
[name_m]Xavien[/name_m] is a lesser known alternative to [name_m]Xavier[/name_m].
I think that if you do want the “X” pronunciation, your best bet might be to use a name that starts with “Ex”. Most names starting with X have a Z sound.
A quick search came up with these options:
[name_m]Exavier[/name_m]
[name_m]Excalibur[/name_m]
[name_m]Exechio[/name_m]
[name_m]Exequiel[/name_m]
[name_m]Exodus[/name_m]
[name_u]Experience[/name_u]
[name_u]Explorer[/name_u]
[name_m]Exton[/name_m]
[name_m]Exupery[/name_m]
It would also be possible to spell any of these with an X. For example, Xcalibur nn X would be a pretty amazing name.
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] nn X
Would you consider something with the ‘Ex’ / X sound somewhere in the name - like…
[name_u]Lennox[/name_u]?
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]?
[name_m]Ajax[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexio[/name_m]
Asterix
[name_m]Maxen[/name_m]
Obelix
Some great options. I would say X could work for a nickname to anything with a letter x sound in it, like:
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_u]Jackson[/name_u]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u]
[name_m]Macsen[/name_m]
[name_u]Rex[/name_u]
[name_u]Maddox[/name_u]
[name_m]Erickson[/name_m]
[name_u]Hendrix[/name_u]
[name_u]Axel[/name_u]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_u]Brooks[/name_u]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] is the only one I can think of. Some people say it x-av-ee-or so it has the strong x sound in there.
If you’d be open to just names containing X and still using the X nickname…
[name_u]Axel[/name_u]
[name_u]Maddox[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m]
[name_u]Lennox[/name_u]
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_u]Hendrix[/name_u]
[name_m]Daxton[/name_m]
[name_u]Onyx[/name_u]
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u]
