Are we too out there with Melisande or Mirabel for a middle name for Xanthe?

Love Mirabel!

Isn’t Mirabel a boy’s name? It’s from a play by Congreve isn’t it?

Ah, it’s double ‘l’ in the play. I did immediately think of his character though (once saw Tom Hardy playing him and he was GORGEOUS Grin)

Melisande/Mirabel?

I love Xanthe but not keen on Melisande or Mirabel - they're both reminiscent of Enid Blyton (the latter was a new girl in one of the St Clare's books). I have a Miranda, so obviously biased but like Marina too - but you might want the harder consonant ending for balance.
