Names -> Weird Names of Music Performer's Children -> X

You think your parents gave you a strange name? Try being born to a rock star. It seems like strange names are just part of what you have to put up with. The most memorable of course would have to be Moon Unit for the daughter of the late great Frank Zappa.

Entries Beginning with X

Child's Name		Parent's Name		Comment		Submitted by:
X Æ A-12		Grimes		I just found out about this and it's already on Wikipedia. Grimes gave birth to a son on May 4, 2020, with partner entrepreneur Elon Musk announcing via Twitter that the child is named "X Æ A-12"		Sussudio's Boyfriend
Xander		Robb Flynn (Machine Head)		What a great name! Xander Flynn!! It rules! I'm sure he's a very adorable little thing :-)		Mickey
Xavier		Donnie Wahlberg		It's not a "black name". My grandfather's name is Xavier and he is white.		Leann
Xavier		John & Korey Cooper (of Skillet)		I for one like this name, it's cute now while Xav is still little, and it sounds very good as an adult name too. Xavier Timothy Cooper. Yep, works with all ages.		Miki
Xavier		DMX		I think it's nice!		missyd807
Xavier		Donnie Wahlberg		This is not (solely) a 'black name'. It's a religious name. Ever heard of Xavier University? [Ed.'s note: Yes, and I've also heard of the saint it's named after, St. Xavier.]		Cat of Pern
Xavier		Donnie Wahlberg		I love the name Xavier. I'd name my kid Xavier if it weren't for my boyfriend thinking he'll be gangster (and all the guys will call him X).		jessica
Xavier		Donnie Wahlberg		Actually it's a pretty common Spanish name. Also used widely in France.		katmando
Xavier		Donnie Wahlberg		I swear those Wahlberg's really are black. That's a black name if I ever heard it. (I'm black so I know.)		Lyvette
Xen		Tisha Campbell-Martin		I don't even know who these people are, but did you even think of the possibility that this name isn't English and means something in another language? The same is true for numerous other entries with so called "weird names" that are just unusual, or in another language.		Charlotte
Xen		Tisha Campbell-Martin		I think that it is the worst name anyone could have possibly have named that baby. I don't know what Tisha and Duane could have been thinking.		journee
Xoie Aeryn Kiann Willis		Joey Fatone		Xoie is pronounced like Zoey. This is a daughter he had when he was 17 years old. Xoie lives with her mother and rarely sees her father Joey. She has been said to have blonde hair, brown eyes.		Laeryn
