X is for Xavier

Both of my children have turned out to be girls but I did have a boy's name waiting in the wings. We toyed with a few. Since we didn't know Adèle's gender for quite some time, we kind of had the time to "finalize" a boy's name. We settled on Xavier Benoit. Like the girls' names, it would have been the french pronunciation so it would have been said like this:

Zah-vee-ay Ben-wah

Xavier means "new house" and Benoit means "blessed." Probably will never have to use this name but I thought it was good.
