Talk to me about Xyla

[Thisisaname]

Can't tell if I find it posh or think it sounds made up...

[PurpleStorm]

Sounds like the start of xylophone.

[lucybrad]

my daughter is Xanthe and everyone loves it. I always have positive comments.

[Benn]

Sorry but I think it's horrible - and Xyla would have to spend the rest of their life telling people how to spell it or how to pronounce it.

[Sashapineapple]

It sounds like an additive not a girls name.

[MidnightMasquerader]

Put it this way... it doesn't sound posh.

[meditrina]

I thought woody too (xylem)

[mathanxiety]

Sounds like a laxative to me.

[PixelAteMyFace]

Sounds wooden to me.

[Zaphiro]

Xanthe sounds posh. Xyla sounds like the parents already have 23 children, and like different initials for each.

[alexpolismum]

xylo is Greek for 'wood', not an easy name to be saddled with.

Xanthe is nice (but I live too close to the city of that name to be able to choose it!)

[TheCountessOlenska]

Oooh I like Xanthe - go with that OP.

Not Xyla.

[CheeseStrawWars]

It's a brand of sweetener: Xyla

Xanthe?

[StephaniePowers]

I like Xenia (the name, obviously )
Xyla means 'wooden' doesn't it?

[MolotovCocktail]

I prefer Xiola (zy-ola) but to be honest, I think that names beginning with 'X' just don't look right. Perhaps this is because they're so rare in the UK and Ireland.

[Rhubarbgarden]

Phone.

[DaveMccave]

It does sound made up to me to be honest. What about Zia or Skylar?

[therugratref]

Sounds like a food additive not a person. Sorry.

[BabyRoger]

I don't think it sounds posh. I do think.it sounds made up.and I also just want to say phone.

[navada]

Kyla is a beautiful name.

[jellybeans]

Not keen. I do like Myla and Kyla though.

[FannyPriceless]

Snap, lljkk! I was exactly going to come on and say it sounds like a weight loss drug! That's bizarre, but obviously suggests there is a connection.

[4TheLoveOfBob]

Hideous.

I know a Xia. Better. Still a bit odd.

[navada]

It's awful.

[NotADragonOfSoup]

I think it sounds made up, not posh.
