Comments for XERXES:

This is one of my favorite boys' names. I love the way it sounds, and love the way it looks handwritten.

Hm, an odd name. But I like it! It's not very common, and it sounds very, well, simply put, cool!

King Xerxes was also the man who married a Jewish girl named Hadassah. The story is contained in the book of Esther in the Bible. Also called Ahasuerus.

If this is a Persian spelling, you might want to move it out of the English section. ;)

King Xerxes was "different" to put it mildly. When a bridge he had built collapsed, he ordered that the sea be given 50(?) lashes; he then had the bridge builders beheaded. When one of his countrymen gave him a monetary donation, he returned the money along with a gift; when this same man asked his son be excused from the army, Xerxes had the son cut in half and his army marched between the pieces.

There is something oddly appealing about this name.

I think Xerxes is a really cool name, but I don't think I would ever give my kid this name as it is a little too out there.
