Faye
Jean

I doubt the two names will be used together too often. My dd has three names all of them together sound really odd, lots of assorted strange sounds and then there's our 4 syllable surname.
11 syllables in all. I knew I should've called her Pat.

Isn't Xanthe Eve going to be hard to say? Too many "e" sounds?

Elizabeth

Elise

Can't think of a single syllable name which flows well. Grace maybe?

Plonker · 21/09/2008 23:03

How about Hope then? Has lovely connotations

We considered Nina as a first name but middle name needs to be one syllable.
i do love eve because it means life and shes so precious to us (as im sure all babies r )

Eve is perfect.
What about Nina which means girl- as Xanthe means blonde haired?

Toomany Rose, Mays and Graces IMO.
