Evanthe is definitely a name. It’s a Greek name like the others.

All a bit Wankthe for me

Reminds of the spoilt kid called Xanthippe in Kimmy Schmidt

I think a lot of people would say eye-anthee.

I don't think Evanthe is a name. Evadne is, and has a similar feel?

My favourite is Xanthe.

I love Xanthe. Not keen on the others.

Ianthe is my favourite of those three, but I think all of them are nice though may be difficult if in an area where the dialect has th-fronting so would end up -fee or -vee or similar by many.

I also have a sort spot for Chrysanthi.

I like Evanthe best.

Don't like Xanthe.

I like Xanthe and Ianthe. Not so keen on Evanthe.

I've never heard of the last one.

I prefer Xanthe.
