Names with an X in them
74 names · 24 girls · 50 boys · records through 2025
X changes a name's temperature. It is rare enough to register as deliberate and common enough in real names that nobody stumbles over it.
This guide has 74 names: 24 girl names and 50 boy names. Names containing the letter X inside the current national top-2000, ordered by today's rank. Built from US Social Security birth records through 2025. Tap + beside any name to keep it on your shortlist as you read.
Before the names
It arrives three ways: inside the classics (Alexander, Alexandra), at the end as a hard stop (Felix, Phoenix, Knox), and in the modern respellings that turned a wave of J-names into X-names inside two decades.
Every name below is verified in the current national records, with today's rank alongside.
