Xanadu?

[heyitisthegirls]

Will people have trouble spelling this in the UK?

I've been thinking of it for a boy but not sure if people will endlessly try and spell it as 'Zanadoo'

No. Do NOT give any child this name!!!

Xanadont.

Used to be a strip club in Manchester City centre called Xanadu

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

Thank you for reminding me of the opening lines of this poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, learned by heart sixty years ago and never forgotten.

But it’s an awful name for a baby.

I wouldn't OP, or when they're adult they'll be posting on the 'We took you to stately pleasure domes' thread.

And a night club in Chesterfield.

Also Frankie Goes to Hollywood, but they change it to 'pleasuredome'.

OP

Please do a quick google.

A beautiful poem - great but also

1980s musical
A shopping mall
A holiday resort
Several songs
A video game

Please don't do it

Poor kid

Xanadu - sorry, not attractive to me.

Alexander - Xan
Xavier
Bruce
Colin
Hugh

So funny😂though I had to look them up.
I wonder if the OP considered the very nice name Khubla? 🤭

Kubla Khant?

hahaha no problem, I thanked everyone because i really couldn´t remember, it sounded Abba-ish to me :-)

They referenced other cities such as Glasgow.

Yes, but don't tell anyone. You'll only upset a load of Shakespeare scholars.

I had Xanadu during my perimenopause/drug haze years.

I know, too much pot. Just say no kids.

Khubla Kan't - this - when he's age 2 and decides on a general policy of non-cooperation.

Or if the OP has twin boys, Khubla and Ghengis?

@ErrolTheDragon , and Monaco

@Alltheyearround , and an Aga?

Hahaha the spelling will be the least of your worries.

This has to be a fucking piss take.

Triplets it is then. Sorry OP.

@HobnobsChoice brilliant!😄
