What is the nicest of the 3??

Liking them all but reservations are

Eve too normal a name, not unusual enough for my liking.

Xanthe maybe touching on pretentious?

Anya too harsh/strong sounding.

My daughter lkely to be very tall, over 6ft, which one would suit best??

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Just to be contrary ...

I think Eve is too plain and dull a name (I have a tendency to go for long names so one syllable just doesn't do it for me).

Love Xanthe as a name (although she'll be lucky if she ever finds anyone who can spell it without being told)

Anya - personally I'd stick with Anna.

But a lot depends on your surname and, anyway, the opinions of old biddies on the internet are immaterial!

I love Eve - easy to read and spell at nursery, classic name....just lovely. Maybe Eve for first name and a 'fancy' name in the middle. Mind you this is coming from someone who has 4 Sons!!!!
