Can't tell if I find it posh or think it sounds made up...

Phone

Pronounced ZYE-lah

I'm wanting to add phone at the end but its nice otherwise.

It sounds like a weight loss drug. Sorry.

Damn you seeker you got there before me

Sorry op but she would get tortured!

I think it sounds made up, not posh.

It's awful.

Hideous.

I know a Xia. Better. Still a bit odd.

Yep. Phone here too.

Snap, lljkk! I was exactly going to come on and say it sounds like a weight loss drug! That's bizarre, but obviously suggests there is a connection.

Not keen. I do like Myla and Kyla though.

Kyla is a beautiful name.

I don't think it sounds posh. I do think.it sounds made up.and I also just want to say phone.

Sounds like a food additive not a person. Sorry.

It does sound made up to me to be honest. What about Zia or Skylar?

Phone.

I prefer Xiola (zy-ola) but to be honest, I think that names beginning with 'X' just don't look right. Perhaps this is because they're so rare in the UK and Ireland.

I like Xenia (the name, obviously )
Xyla means 'wooden' doesn't it?

It's a brand of sweetener: Xyla

Xanthe?

Oooh I like Xanthe - go with that OP.

Not Xyla.

xylo is Greek for 'wood', not an easy name to be saddled with.

Xanthe is nice (but I live too close to the city of that name to be able to choose it!)

Xanthe sounds posh. Xyla sounds like the parents already have 23 children, and like different initials for each.

Sounds wooden to me.

Sounds like a laxative to me.

I thought woody too (xylem)

Put it this way... it doesn't sound posh.

It sounds like an additive not a girls name.

Sorry but I think it's horrible - and Xyla would have to spend the rest of their life telling people how to spell it or how to pronounce it.

my daughter is Xanthe and everyone loves it. I always have positive comments.

Sounds like the start of xylophone.
