what do you think?

DH suggested Zebedee but i think he may have been joking. i like it however.
especially due to the Magic Roundabout connotation.
what would it shorten to?

though it does mean 'gift of god' like so many many other names..

and 'Xanthe'...well 'fair-haired' - all my kids are blondies so far!

Zebedee is stupid, sorry.

Xanthe is lovely, though.

You can't use Xanthe for a girl, because I wish I had called DD1 that and now she's 13 it's too late, and that would not be fair to me. Wink

I imagine you'd shorten to Zeb (which is quite cool)

Xanthe is lovely, Zebedee I'm not keen on (I picture an annoying bouncing child).
