I've come across the French name Xavière, which is a feminine form of XAVIER. It must be a very uncommon name, as I've only seen it listed on a few sites. Does anyone no how to pronounce it?

Za-vee-AIR, but you have to roll the r, feel it on the tip of your toungue, not the back of your throat. I`ve never heard of it either, but Xavier (on a boy) is very popular in Quebec, so we might see more of it.

Thank you, Mackadal!

Thanks very much. I've been thinking about using the name Xavière in one of my stories. It sounds very pretty. :)
