Names similar to Xanthe

[misshoohaa]

DD arrived 5 weeks ago, and after about 10 days we buckled to Pressure and named her Grace, we both like it but neither of us love it, I feel like we've settled for a common name, and want to change it.
Her brother and sister have great names that we love and I feel I owe it to baby to give her an equally awesome name (in my opinion!)

I love Xanthe.... however can't use it as its very similar to my DS, Xavier.

I like different names, ones that you meet few and far between and that have good nicknames.

So we have Xavier and Trixie already so I like names with an x sound it seems any suggestions on what number 3 could be..... ???

OP have you registered dd yet? Would you keep grace as a middle name?

We did register her but you can change it within a year with a section 17 or something. How do you pronounce Ianthe. I like Eliza!

Love Xanthe too ....

Zephyr is a boys name..

Oh right yes, it's easily done before their 1st birthday.
I think Eliza fits perfect with you other dc.

To answer your question OP

The girl's name Ianthe \i(a)-

nthe, ian- the\

is pronounced eye-AH-thee. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "violetflower". Mythology: a sea nymph, daughter of Oceanus

Eliza is great OP. I'd avoid Xanthe if your DS feels it sounds like taking his name.

Eliza Grace would sound good too, so you haven't totally wiped out her original name (if you wanted, obviously doesn't actually matter if you want rid of Grace).
