Congratulations on your upcoming arrival — a beautiful baby boy!
You undoubtedly are full of excitement, and you also likely have tons of questions. One of the biggest is what to name your baby.
A person’s name carries a lot of weight. It determines how someone sees himself, as well as how others think about him.
With that in mind, it’s natural to want to scroll through Google for hours to find the best first name.
But, if you spend all your energy looking for a first name, you could run out of steam thinking about a middle name.
That’s why I’ve been putting together my How To Pick A Middle Name series. So with a quick glance, you can find the perfect middle name for your son!
Without any further ado, here are the best middle names for a boy named Xavier.
I’ve compiled these from baby name databases, parent discussion forums, and other sources then whittled them down to the ones I personally think sound the best.
Hope it helps!
