Thankfully down to two.

Please tell me which you prefer between Xanthe and Taryn. Middle name Joy for grandma Joyce.

Can the is nice but I like Taryn. Unusual but not out there IYSWIM.

Taryn. i hate to say it bc i knew a hideously racist girl named Taryn at university, but Xanthe is unbearable.

Xanthe is nice....bloomin iPhone autocorrect

I really like Taryn. It sounds kind.

Apart from the one wesH knew, obviously!

I like Taryn best of the two, but both are nice names - different but not too much so.

Taryn.

Xanthe is a bit too 'drama teacher with lots of wafty silk scarves urging people to heal their chakras'

Taryn, or Tamryn is nice too

Xanthe

Lol Sqoosh that's what I was trying to explain to OH. He thinks it's very warrior woman

Sorry Squoosh lost your u!

Xanthe is nice. Not heard of Taryn before, but it doesn't make much of an impression.

Prefer Xanthe. It's on my short list.

I'd probably say Xanthe, because I knew one at school who was very nice.

Taryn I've not heard of so it sounds a bit made up to me (I'm sure it's not).

Is it pronounced Zan Fee?

Taryn

Taryn

Xanthe definitely. It's beautiful. I sometimes think dd would have been a lovely Xanthe but I love her actual name too.

Surely more like Zan-thee teaandalemoncake. There's no 'F'.

I'm going to go against the grain and say I prefer Xanthe.

Xanthe

I'm a traditionalist - so neither appeal to me... but if pushed Taryn sounds more "normal"...

Xanthe. Taryn sounds a bit made up.

Taryn. Xanthe just reminds me a party island, whereas all the (few) Tatyn's
I've know have been strong independent women.

I thought it must be Fee otherwise it's a Greek island isn't it?

The Greek Island is pronounced with a 't' sound rather than a 'th' though isn't it?
