Cordelia or Xanthe?

[Jenni2legs]

I really love both, and;

Albany
Jessica
Echo

DH likes Emily.

Any thoughts?

I really love Xanthe!

I like Jessica and Emily.

Emily

Cordelia Emily sounds lovely!

Of your choices, I only really like Xanthe.

Echo makes me

Never echo- please!

Emily.

If I had to choose from your list, Xanthe. Cordelia's a villain in Buffy, Albany's the famously dull town that's the real capital of New York state, Echo drowns herself out of vanity.

Emily's a really nice name.

Xanthe is rather lovely, but you do need to be beautiful or at least striking to carry it off. You can't be a frumpy Xanthe.

Cordy! Lovely

What about Xanthe Amelia?

Cordelia.

at Cordelia being the villain in Buffy She's the Shakespearian tragic heroine, King Lear's favourite daughter. I like tragic heroines.

Cordelia

Cordelia isn't a villain in Buffy. Anyway it's a great name. I like Cordelia Emily. I also like Emily as a first name. Xanthe is nice too but Emily is classic

Cordelia is tactless, but helpful in Buffy, not a villian, she actually becomes a celestial being in Angel. Her lack of tact I think is a nod to the Shakespearean Cordelia who doesn't lie to garner her fathers affections.

Echo wastes away because of her love of Narcissus, who doesn't drown but stares into a pool at his reflection until he becomes a flower.

I also like the name Juno.

Love Xanthe!

My name is the latter, so I may be slightly biased, but it's definitely a lot nicer than the rest on your list. I always get complimented on it, but it's a right pain in the arse to have to spell it out constantly!

I have a Xanthe and a Jessica - great choices

I quite like Cordelia and Emily and think I love Echo and Alabany - really cool and quirky.

Love Xanthe, on my shortlist. Emily too popular, esp with all the similar sounding names - Emma, Amelie, Milly, etc

I like Xanthe. My DP does not hence why it's not on the list.

Please not Echo!

Cordelia would be my choice. Cordy is really cute.

I like Cordelia Emily. Xanthe is ok too, not keen on the rest.

I think if you are a bit of a non attention seeking soul, xanthe will be a burdensome name.

Emily and Jessica are ordinary non offensive MOR names.

Albany is a paint company. I had a dog called Echo.

Cordelia sounds like Cordial or Corduroy. Ok if you like that kind of thing.
