in order my top three would be - Claudia, Saskia, Ianthe nn Xanthe

Xanthe - Ianthe better as a full name as more grown up, but it’s a bit fussy and Lispy
Francesca - elegant, but getting popular
Imogen - ok, Popular, slightly twee
Saskia - nice, and stands out more
Alexandra - nice but it will get shortened
Claudia - great, elegant but less popular than Francesca

Never had any issues with Xanthe it’s a lovely name

mums4ever · 18/05/2025 23:49

Not keenon the others

Luredbyapomegranate · 19/05/2025 00:05

Zombie!

Firsttimebabymummy · 19/05/2025 06:10

Love Alexandra ans Francesca

Emanwenym · 19/05/2025 13:02

Xanthe - ok, seems an X name for the sake of it. Not keen on 'th' sound.
Francesca - ok, a bit frilly. I don't like Frankie or Chessie
Imogen - ok, I don't like Immy etc
Saskia - great
Alexandra - i know loads and lots of male Alexs.
Claudia - only know 1 and she's a 'cloud-ya'

My pick would be Saskia.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 20/05/2025 06:42

In order of preference. I would shorten Alexandra to Sacha. I wouldn't use Xanthe at all, too much confusion over the pronunciation.

Alexandra
Francesca
Saskia
Imogen
Claudia
Xanthe

Don't bother. It's shit.

mums4ever · 21/05/2025 23:41

emanwemyn WHY do you care? We just love the names Imogen and Francesca, they're classic, beautiful and have great significances.

Emanwenym · 22/05/2025 08:58

@mums4ever , because someone started a thread asking Rate my girls list..
I don't particularly care what your daughters are called as it wasn't you who asked, but I like Imogen in full. Francesca is nice enough - a friend has one but she's usually 'Chess'.

My post (20/05/2025 11:03) was in response to a post that has since vanished and looked suspicious, so the context is lost. OP's list of names are all fine.

The OP last posted three years ago.

KayEmAy · 06/06/2025 20:38

Love Saskia and Alexandra!
