Hi all, hope you’re all keeping safe.

What are your thoughts on this name? It’s not my favorite but the only one me and my partner can agree on at the moment.

My favourite is Xanthe but he doesn’t love this..

Thanks!

If it's not your favourite you simply should go for it m'love!

You have to find a name you both like, there must be ONE- Hunt, hunt, hunt until you find it like it's the ultimate golden Easter egg.

SHOULDN'T go for it 😭😂

He'll learn to like it OP. He probably thinks it's too 'out there'.
It isn't.

Myla seems a bit downmarket and I don't think it's a pretty name,

Verity - I love this as well as Nina or Beatrix /Beatrice and Violet

What about Fleur, Cordelia,

I love it. I also love Xanthe but the spelling bugs me.

peperethecat · 29/04/2020 09:33

I don't like it at all. I think it sounds like something medical.

I'm biased here as we have a Xanthe (nestled in between an Ava and an Eliza!) and we love it and so does she. She's a teenager now and revels in being a little bit different but not totally 'out there'. It's shorted to Xan or XanXan and it really does suit her down to the ground. Persuade your husband!

As an alternative, we actually got to Xanthe as I went to uni with a girl called Xalie, which I thought was incredibly exotic and vowed to give it to one of my kids. Hubbie hated it but was happy with Xanthe, which was next in the list int he name book!

Good luck!

Zélie is a French name which I really like.

You could also have Zalie as a nickname for Azalea.

Really cute. Myra is a completely different name and I've never heard of the lingerie company. However Bella is used a lot for women's items like that and it's still undeniably a beautiful abbreviation of Isabella and Arabella et al. Myla Is cute xx

I love Myla !

WatchingTheBears · 05/05/2020 23:10

I misread it as Myra. Sorry!

@peperethecat @kitchenquestions I love Zelie / Xalie! Never heard of it but it’s lovely.
