About this list

X marks the spot in some of the hottest boys’ names of the moment: from Maxwell to Maddox and from Huxley to Hendrix. So why not choose an X-starting boy name and put that extravagant X initial squarely up front?

Along with Maxwell and Maddox, popular names for boys that contain the letter X include Jaxon and its variants, Axel, Paxton, Maximus, and Knox — all in the Top 300 baby names for boys in the US. In the UK, x-ending names for boys are particularly popular, such as Max, Alex, Felix, and Rex.
