What the letter is telling you
The leader
Xavier carries the letter.
#108 in the country — no X name, girl or boy, sits higher. It reads “the new house.”
The lean
X is scarce on the charts.
Only five X names rank in today's top 1000 — 3 for girls, 2 for boys.
The crossovers
No name goes both ways.
Every charting X name belongs to one column — the letter splits clean.
