My cousin's wife just had a baby a couple of weeks ago. The little guy's name is Alexander Xavier Declan. While I like all of those names separately, I'm not sure I'm too fond of Alexander and Xavier next to each other. Seems like too many X's to me. She had originally said she was going to name the baby Alexander Declan (which I think is a very handsome combo!), so I'm not sure when she decided to throw Xavier into the mix. I don't think the name is horrible or anything, just a bit of a mouthful. Thoughts?

I actually like it - both in sound and looks. Does she say Xavier" with a "Z" sound? If so, I doubt anyone would notice if they didn't see it in writing. I wouldn't care for Alex Xavier.

It is a mouthful. But, it also depends somewhat on how she's pronouncing the X in Xavier...however I prefer just Alexander Declan.
