If I like xanthe...?

[Purplepjs]

Expecting a girl. OH and I both like Xanthe but not set on it yet. We also like Amelie but won’t choose it as getting very popular and can’t really think of any way to shorten it that we like. If we like Xanthe or Amelie, any suggestions what else we might like? Middle name will be Elizabeth. Thanks in advance.

Xanthe is beautiful!

Ianthe
Hebe
Thisbe
Sylvie
Ione
Isolde
Calliope
Zelie
Elowen
Anwen
Phoebe

I like Xanthe. How about Ariadne?

Elodie
Zelda
Katja
Elvira

Saskia

Tansy
Calypso
Juniper
Sylvie

Zora or Aoife

Oh actually not Aoife if the middle name is Elizabeth. It would sound like E for Elizabeth!

Meant to say that Xanthe is lovely.

Honor
Heidi
Hebe (rhymes with Phoebe)
Alexis
Aurora (Rory)
Octavia
Agatha

I like Rosalie and Cecily, both of which are similar to Amelie but less common and can be shortened. However, they're a bit of a tongue twister with Elizabeth!

Xanthe is my favourite girls' name!

Other favourites are:
Clara
Juno
Iris
Honor
Mara
Hero (but I wouldn't dare)
Hera

Juniper
Sanchia
Tabitha
Beatrix
Jasmine
Clementine
Juliette
Esme
Vivienne
Seren

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I like Juno, Mara and Seren especially. Thanks to those that said they like Xanthe too..it’s such a big decision!!!

Xanthe is beautiful.

Amara 😊
