I really like Helena Lottie a lot. Xavier Thaddeus seems rather trendy bleached-blonde next to the shining cherry-wood warmth of Helena Lottie, but it is still cool.

I like Xavier Thaddeus and Helena too. Charlotte would have been MUCH more lovely paired with Helena, imo. :-(

Nice! I'm quite fond of Thaddeus and Lottie; Helena's also nice, though I strongly prefer Helene and Helen.

Me no like. But I know a little Lottie who is adorable, so I'm kind of attached to that name... it's nice on some one else's kid(:

Wow. Xavier Thaddeus is fantastic. For once I'm not wincing at a BA. And Helena Lottie is darling. Those are exactly the namers / parents we want reproducing. :-)

"Those are exactly the namers / parents we want reproducing. :-)"LOL! Cute! I've always liked Xavier and I think it sounds great with Thaddeus to ground it a tad.

I really like Xavier. Thaddeus is an interesting name. It's not one that I would use, but I think it sounds nice with Xavier.

I love those two names, but I'm kind of wondering the pronunciation of Xavier.See, I have a friend named Xavier and he pronounces it hah-vee-air. However, no one pronounces it that way. Honestly, half of our friends gave up and just call him X. It doesn't help that when you ask him the pronunciation he just says, "I don't care."

For some reason I thought that Javier was "hah-vee-AIR" and Xavier was always "ex-zavier" or "Zay-vier."If you check the description in this database it comes from the Basque place name Etxaberri meaning "the new house". I think Ex-Zay-vier would be a more authentic pronunciation of that.Anyway, my co-worker's last name begins with Z, so I kind of hope they are not going with the "Zayvier" pronunciation. I read it in an email so far and haven't asked.

My cousin was almost Xavier, but his parents named him Matthew at the last minute.Xavier is okay, I guess. It sounds a little weird, but it's all right.I like Helena Lottie; very cute.

Well, Lottie is a middle name. Most people don't use their middle names, so maybe it won't matter that it's a nickname.

I like Helena, but I think Lottie must be a relative's name-- I have one of those annoying hangups where I always think, "Why didn't they go with Charlotte and leave Lottie as a nickname?"
