Zanthe?

I have a DD with an Arabic type name so think a name in a similar vein would work well. I think it's Greek.
Do we like it or no? Ta

I think it's Xanthe.

MissMuffetisin · 04/02/2015 18:28

Thought it was spelt Xanthe ?

Bowlersarm · 04/02/2015 18:29

I prefer it with the 'x'

Showy · 04/02/2015 18:29

Xanthe is beautiful. Don't piddle about with the spelling.

VulvaVoom · 04/02/2015 18:30

Ah that makes more sense! A horror to spell though Grin

Zanthe is a Greek island though, isn't it? So the OP is right in that it is a word. But prob best to stick with Xanthe for a name.

Can think of lots of other islands - Elba is nice Grin or Islay, Corsica... I could go on, and on, and on

Showy · 04/02/2015 18:42

Zante is the island.

Nolim · 04/02/2015 18:47

No

I like it! I know it's spelt Xanthe but I think most people would hear the name and think it was spelt Zanthe :) couldn't persuade DH so we had a Zoë instead!

Oh yes, so it is Blush.

Really like it. It's on the short list for current Bump, spelled Xanthe.

IsadoraQuagmire · 05/02/2015 14:07

Only if it's spelled Xanthe!

I have a 10 month old Xanthe. I love it and haven't met another one.

I'm on the fence with Xanthe. It's a bit too 'new age healer' plus it sounds a bit lispy.
