Finally, I have narrowed down names that are liked by most people I have spoken to (I'm not really that much of a people pleaser honest(!), but I didn't want a name most did not like).
However, is Vida too much? It means 'life' and I want a name with meaning.
Also is Xania a bit much- i prefer Xanthe if I'm honest, but so many people now like it that i'm getting worried!!!!!
Anyway, which names do you like the most and why?

Xanthe Rose
Xanthe Abigail
Xania Rose
Xania Sophia
Felicity Sophia Elizabeth nn Flick (Always!)
Rue Sophia Annika
Genevieve Rue
Vida Sophia Rue
Vida Annika
Jasmine Elizabeth
Lily Natalie

Feel free to suggest other middle names or other combininations of those names above (surname starts with B. I am an Eleanor)

Xenia is a good name

Vida... not sure, it means "life' in Spanish but it is not really that nice.

Rue? please! not in a country were so many people learn French as a second language. Boulevard is trendier!

Xania makes me think of a cross between Xanax (a well-known tranquilliser) and Vania (a well-known brand of sanitary towel) so I think you should avoid it like the plague!

Vida - I don't like it much but it's possible.

Vida is OK.

I like Xanthe better than Xania (makes me think of 'Zany').
Xanthe isnt that popular, I think it still has somewhere to go before it is in the top 100.

I like Vida - simple, easy to pronounce and works in most languages.

I went to school with a Vida and it has been the one and only time I have heard it. I like it better then Xania. She will be spelling her name constantly if you name her Xania.
