I really love both, and;

Albany
Jessica
Echo

DH likes Emily.

Any thoughts?

If you like Xanthe, what do you think of Chrysanthe? Then you could call her:

Annie
Chrysa
Chrysi
Santhe

Chrysanthe is a lovely name too. :)

I like Cordelia, but my mother said we shouldn't use it as she comes to a tragic end in King Lear. I live Xanthe too.

Cordelia or Jessica

Echo is not good.

Cordelia is so beautiful.

Xanthe Emmeline

Cordelia is such a lovely name. :) I would go for it.

Cordelia can be shortened to Coco or Delie, if Cordy or Delia don't appeal.

cordelia or xanthe, or emily. the others are just tat. don't call a child 'echo'.

Echo. I've always thought Echo is a great name.

burgatroyd · 25/12/2014 12:28

Echo is without substance. A repeat. Its a bit like calling someone Shadow, Reflection.

Cordelia is gorgeous! I also really like Emily. Echo is awful (sorry!).
