Hi all, hope you’re all keeping safe.

What are your thoughts on this name? It’s not my favorite but the only one me and my partner can agree on at the moment.

My favourite is Xanthe but he doesn’t love this..

Thanks!

Prefer Mila or Lila.

MilkNoSugars · 25/04/2020 10:29

My first thought was 'posh sex shop' - sorry!

Xanthe is nice.

LotusClover · 25/04/2020 10:21

I prefer this spelling, with the y instead of the i. But it seems like Mila is the more widely accepted spelling so I would spell it that way. That being said, I'm not a huge fan of this name as it's a bit modern so it's likely to date. Maya is better as it's more classic.

Doesn't have the same appeal as Lila or Milo almost like a blended name..

I love Xanthe 😍

daisypond · 25/04/2020 09:52

I’m not keen. It’s a bit bland. Xanthe is better.
Xenia?

I’m afraid it makes me think of Myra, which makes me think of the killer.

Mara?
Marley?
Marnie?
Mila is nice as pp said

SquirtleSquad · 25/04/2020 09:45

It just isn't really a name is it?
Mila is nice.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 25/04/2020 09:43

No, it’s Myla.

I wouldn’t use Myra fir different reasons.

WineLover1234 · 25/04/2020 09:39

I like that name 🥰 I thought myra was the brand name for clothing or lingerie? I may be wrong haha!

LeaahLey · 25/04/2020 09:29

I like it, I don’t associate it with anything. It’s nice Op

Lampan · 25/04/2020 09:29

Yep my first thought too. A posh lingerie/sex shop

Cornishmumofone · 25/04/2020 09:26

@chardonnayspetdragon That's exactly what I was going to say!

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 25/04/2020 09:25

Isn't there a slightly risqué lingerie brand called that?
