I guess I give them points for trying. I do think Zavie's kind of a cute nickname for Xavier, though. At least, around the house. Seems a little too sissified to withstand the taunts of the schoolyard.
Ugh. I hate combined names. Choose Alexander or Xavier, and give the kid a break. And Zavie is an awful nickname for it. It sounds really feminine to me.

It's like Zhun-veev for Geneviève, it's butchering!
But other than that, in this case the main problem is that they merged two names in one..
