It's the right spelling. It's just that, in the States, I hear two pronunciations: (1) ZAY-vee-er and (2) ex-ZAY-vee-er. I love ZAY-vee-er, but I strongly dislike ex-ZAY-vee-er.

Boys:

Connor - I love the name Connor. My last name also starts with R, but we used Connor anyway.

Sean - I like it

Landon - nms

Owen - a little unsure on this one - Owen was on our short list for ds #2. Like it very much

Xavier - unsure about this one too - okay

Girls:

Alexa (nn Lexi) - As a jr/sr high teacher, I've seen tons of Alexandra, Alexandria, Alexis, Allison, Alyssa, Alecia names over the past few years. I do like the name, though.

Erica - a bit dated, but nice

Madelyn - Like the Allie/Lexi names, I'm seeing tons of Maddies

Olivia - unsure about this one -Very sweet, though very popular

I guess I like Connor, Owen, Alexa, and Olivia the most.

Here is my honest opinion:

Connor - love it, make sure it sounds ok with your last name
Sean - not my style at all
Landon - Please don't, to trendy
Owen - not my style at all
Xavier - Just plain don't like this one
Alexa (nn Lexi)- Not sure, it is just ok.
Erica - Seems to 1980s to me. not my style
Madelyn - Love it, so cute and classic
Olivia - Love it and you could have many cute nns

What about: Alexander, William, Liam, Anderson, Caleb, Cooper or Jocelyn, Miranda, Isabelle, Jordan, Eliza, Lauren, Emma, Abigail.
