Expecting twins in October. Don't know the sex yet but DH and I have agreed on Xanthe if one is a girl. We're finding it really difficult to come up with another name. Can anyone suggest names to complement Xanthe for either sex?

Thanks

I think it would be a bit much to have a second name also starting with 'X'.

We thought about keeping the X as a 'theme'. I like Xanthe and Beatrix but not sure if they are too different in style.

Was also wondering if we should maybe look at the meaning. DH and I are both blonde so chances are our children will be too - one of the reasons we like Xanthe. So, we thought maybe Xanthe and Linus for girl/boy twins.

I think keeping the prominent X in the name is a cute idea - not necessarily for childrenof different ages but a nice connection for twins

I know two sisters with these names. Both the names have Greek roots.
