All I can say is WOW!!! I'm with some of the other poster's, not actually sure how-to pronounce some of these. Wouldn't Xael and Xale be the same name though?I do kind of like.Alex

The family in question is Flemish so in Dutch I'd say Xael as KSAH-el and Xale as KSAH-lə. Still confusing but at least not the exact same. Talk about a low bar though...

Thank you! I didn't know that. I live in the USA, and we pronounce them basically the same. But that makes more sense. But still seems very overdone or maybe trying too hard. But each to their own. I do Congratulate them on the new baby though.
