Cordelia or Xanthe?

[Jenni2legs]

I really love both, and;

Albany
Jessica
Echo

DH likes Emily.

Any thoughts?

[Kelko]

I really love Xanthe!

[Panzee]

I like Jessica and Emily.

[MeMyselfAnd1]

Emily

[loislines]

Cordelia Emily sounds lovely!

[SanityClause]

Of your choices, I only really like Xanthe.

[SageSeymour]

Echo makes me

[shakemysilliesout]

Never echo- please!

[albertcampionscat]

Emily.

If I had to choose from your list, Xanthe. Cordelia's a villain in Buffy, Albany's the famously dull town that's the real capital of New York state, Echo drowns herself out of vanity.

Emily's a really nice name.

[albertcampionscat]

Xanthe is rather lovely, but you do need to be beautiful or at least striking to carry it off. You can't be a frumpy Xanthe.

[jackydanny]

Cordy! Lovely

[chockbic]

What about Xanthe Amelia?

[SabrinaMulhollandJjones]

Cordelia.

[SabrinaMulhollandJjones]

at Cordelia being the villain in Buffy She's the Shakespearian tragic heroine, King Lear's favourite daughter. I like tragic heroines.

[Chewbecca]

Cordelia

[ZenNudist]

Cordelia isn't a villain in Buffy. Anyway it's a great name. I like Cordelia Emily. I also like Emily as a first name. Xanthe is nice too but Emily is classic

[Jenni2legs]

Cordelia is tactless, but helpful in Buffy, not a villian, she actually becomes a celestial being in Angel. Her lack of tact I think is a nod to the Shakespearean Cordelia who doesn't lie to garner her fathers affections.

Echo wastes away because of her love of Narcissus, who doesn't drown but stares into a pool at his reflection until he becomes a flower.

I also like the name Juno.

[burgatroyd]

Love Xanthe!

[FelixFelixNavidad]

My name is the latter, so I may be slightly biased, but it's definitely a lot nicer than the rest on your list. I always get complimented on it, but it's a right pain in the arse to have to spell it out constantly!

[manicinsomniac]

I have a Xanthe and a Jessica - great choices

I quite like Cordelia and Emily and think I love Echo and Alabany - really cool and quirky.

[Guin1]

Love Xanthe, on my shortlist. Emily too popular, esp with all the similar sounding names - Emma, Amelie, Milly, etc

[sebsmummy1]

I like Xanthe. My DP does not hence why it's not on the list.

[Deerhound]

Please not Echo!

Cordelia would be my choice. Cordy is really cute.

[Sophronia]

I like Cordelia Emily. Xanthe is ok too, not keen on the rest.

[emeline]

I think if you are a bit of a non attention seeking soul, xanthe will be a burdensome name.

Emily and Jessica are ordinary non offensive MOR names.

Albany is a paint company. I had a dog called Echo.

Cordelia sounds like Cordial or Corduroy. Ok if you like that kind of thing.
