Sibling for Maxine and Dexter?

The ‘x’ is not a must, but would be cool to have. No idea on the gender yet, so suggestions for both boy and girl, please! [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] means ‘the greatest’ and [name_m]Dexter[/name_m] means ‘favorable’, positive/strong meanings are appreciated. Thank you :white_heart:

Alexa/Alexander/Alexis - means defender or helper of humanity

Roxanne/Roxana - means dawn or bright

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] - means happy or lucky

[name_m]Paxton[/name_m] - means peaceful town

For the “x” and vibe, I would probably go with [name_f]Nixie[/name_f], [name_m]Lennox[/name_m], or [name_f]Roxanna[/name_f] for a sister.

Probably [name_m]Fox[/name_m], [name_m]Maddox[/name_m], or [name_m]Rexford[/name_m] for a brother

Hopefully these help!

Felix is a great idea! I also like Alexander with Maxine and Dexter; Xavier was my first idea, and I think he fits in well with Maxine and Dexter, although I don’t know that his meaning is amazing (not bad, really, just means “the new house”). Not as nice as Maxine or Dexter, anyway. Rex is pretty short, but I also really love him with Maxine and Dexter, and he means “king”!

For a girl, less confident, I do like Xanthe a lot and I think she works well with Maxine and Dexter, but I think she just means “blond”. Or maybe Xenia? It means “hospitality” which I think is still overall positive. Like Alexander, Alexandra, Alexandria, Alexandrine, or Alexandrina is really nice (I’m a huge fan of Alexandrina myself, but it is a lot longer than Maxine and Dexter!), too. Or Beatrix! I love the idea of Beatrix with Maxine and Dexter, and means “voyager; traveler” which I think is really lovely too.

Good luck!

Some great suggestions so far! With [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] & [name_m]Dexter[/name_m], I love the previously mentioned [name_m]Felix[/name_m] (happy; lucky) and [name_f]Roxy[/name_f] (dawn, bright). Alexander/Alexis/Alex/Alix, Nixon/Nixie and Knox/Nox are great options too. I’d want to avoid names where the first syllable rhymes with “Max” and “Dex” (Bexley, [name_m]Axel[/name_m], [name_m]Paxton[/name_m], [name_m]Rex[/name_m], [name_m]Jaxon[/name_m], [name_m]Lex[/name_m], etc).

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], [name_f]Valerie[/name_f], [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_m]Percival[/name_m], [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] and [name_m]Quincy[/name_m] are great shouts for names excluding ‘x’ - I like that they have an uncommon consonant. Others I think round out the sibset well are [name_m]Archie[/name_m], [name_m]Ira[/name_m], [name_m]Casper[/name_m], [name_m]Asa[/name_m], [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_f]Wynn[/name_f], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Simone[/name_f].
