Team Green & stuck between names! HELP!!

[Mommy_M]

We are team green, due in about 5 weeks and stuck between two boys names!

We have a 22 month old son named Isaiah. My husband loves the name Xavier, I like Caleb. Something about Xavier strikes me more than Caleb, but I'm bothered by the rhyming 'Zay' sound of both names. My husband doesn't see this as an issue at all! Also, the girls name we've decided on was not my husbands first choice, but he relented. I'm wondering now if I should just do the same? I mean, we have a 50-50 shot of one of us ending up with a name we love while the other just "likes" it, right?

So...do Isaiah and Xavier rhyme too much? Am I completely over thinking this? Is Caleb a better choice? Soooo much to consider! Please, any feedback would be very helpful!

I'd go for xavier, it goes really well with Isaiah. Really sorry though but I hate the name Calab with a passion. I'm not sure why as I've never known anyone with that name it's just me!! Btw, what is team green? Why not yellow?

I am in love with the name Caleb - so that gets my vote

Although I think Xavier is a perfectly good name too

I think Isaiah & Xavier go well together - I much prefer Xavier over Caleb. I hate the name Caleb actually and I don't think it flows well with Isaiah at all.

I personally don't think any rhyming should matter at all...and Isaiah and Xavier don't rhyme anyway. Personally I prefer Caleb. Have always disliked the name Xavier (like it only belongs in TV or something, idk), but that's just opinion and in no way am I trying to offend you (most people dont like our girls name either)

Ps. I've never heard the phrase "Team Green" either, lol. Only "Team Yellow"!

Caleb is not my favorite name. I love Xavier. I have a little cousin named Xavier and his nn is just X.

I don't like Xavier at all, but Caleb is also on my list of names I don't like.

Team green is the same as team yellow from what I have seen on other forums.

I'm obviously against the majority as I love the name caleb (I'm a teacher and if I hadn't already taught a boy called caleb one of two boys would definitely have been called it). Having said that I do think xavier maybe goes slightly better

 

[emyandpotato]

Really dislike Caleb and don't think it goes well with your DS's name. Xavier is fine though! Not rhymey at all.

I think Xavier goes really well with Isaiah, I don't think it sounds to similar and I personally prefer the name to Caleb.

I like both names, but my favourite is Xavier. Our daughter was going to be Xavier if she was a boy and we were going to use the nickname Xavvie / Xav (we were going to pronounce it zavvy-er)

I love Xavier, and a bonus that it flows so well with Isaiah without being rhymey and weird.

Not a fan of Caleb.
