Xander or Xanthe

My name is Xanthe and whilst I like it you only get the very occasional person who can pronounce or spell it, it can be exhausting. Please consider this

I know an Astera, pronounced like "As - stair - rah" and I've always liked it. Although my DH says it sounds like a Vauxhall car It means star, like Esther, or Hester.

I was tempted to call my DS, Aneurin, pronounced like "An - nye - run" and shortened to Nye after Aneurin "Nye" Bevan. But I'm not Welsh, and chickened out.

If you want unusual try Graham or Katherine, Clare, Sarah etc. In fact any names that used to be common are never used now because ironically everyone is trying to be different.

Good point actually. Clive or Anita would be perfect

@orio you just have been unlucky. My DD (20yr) is Xanthe and she's not really had any problems. Occasionally Xanthia and the Spanish teacher at her school always got it wrong. But other than that she's had more problem with her rare but very easy English Surname! I joke she should use my Greek one instead!

And Chris is positively exotic

Atlantic?
Pacific?

That’s so odd! I got that message before I’d even posted properly. I was giving some Classical Greek and Roman names that linked with Ocean. I wonder what I said!

River?

Rain? River? Lake?
You can have a water theme!

Bondi?
I know a couple who conceived their child in a hotel overlooking Bondi Beach and called her that

Cloud

Actor for boys
Amalia for girls

*Aitor, not actor

Winter or Star for a girl?

Gaia.

It's so nice seeing River pop up.

My youngest (5) is River and we've never met another one! And my middle kid is Bluebell... also yet to meet another.
