Is green the surname or second middle name?

Gorgeous!

I love xanthe. Xanthe rose sounds great.

I love Xanthe, but I think those three names together are a bit too colour-themed. Xanthe means yellow/ blonde, Rose can be a shade of pink, and then Green... it's a bit much.

I love xanthe, great choice.

Not so sure about rose, it seems to be a very common in, unless it's a family name or very personal for you I'd possibly rethink it.

Like Xanthe, like Rose.

Not sure about zanthyrose. Also reminds me of Nicole Kidman's daughter, Sunday Rose. I always hear Sunday Roast.

Xanthe + something with more than one syllable might be better?

YES!!!!! Stunning name.

Hi thanks. Green is the surname. So day to day would be Xanthe Green. I know the name means blonde/yellow but will people relate it to that? I'm sure there are lots of brunette Xanthes.

Rose is a family name but we could look at alternatives. Another being Xanthe Susanna or Xanthe Ela (Ella)

It's a lovely name. What would her nickname be? Zan?

Gorgeous.

Xanthe is great and there are indeed brunette ones about, so that doesn't matter. I'm just not keen on it with two other 'colour' names. Xanthe Green is fine, but I'd probably pick a different middle name.

notagiraffe · 01/12/2016 20:35

Great name.

Enkopkaffetak · 01/12/2016 20:45

Xanthe is great love it. Wouldn't have Rose and Green together personally.

CockneyViv · 01/12/2016 21:24

I also wouldn't have a colour/flower with Green.

Also I wouldn't have Xanthe Ela. Said quickly it sounds a bit too much like salmonella

user1479835256 · 01/12/2016 21:40

Ha CockneyViv thanks for pointing that out. Good reason to run things by Mumsnet

Beautiful name!

Gruffalosfriend · 02/12/2016 08:41

I wouldn't know how to pronounce Xanthe? Xan-thee or Xan-thay?

mudandmayhem01 · 02/12/2016 08:46

I have a friend called Zanthe, lovely name is Xanthe the same pronunciation ( Zan-thay)?
