What is the nicest of the 3??

Liking them all but reservations are

Eve too normal a name, not unusual enough for my liking.

Xanthe maybe touching on pretentious?

Anya too harsh/strong sounding.

My daughter lkely to be very tall, over 6ft, which one would suit best??

noooo, not Olive! Not just Olive from On the Buses (bad enough) but Olive Oyl from Popeye too... not good.

how about Octavia?
Or Anita? (sounds a little like 'inuit' if you stretch your mind...)

You know, i'd completely forgotten about my love for Anouk. I'm now totally swooning over it. I want one!

It's pronounced Ah-nook btw..

Xanthe, it's lovely.
My name has always been mispelt/ diff for some to pronounce and I think it's character building....?!!

I think Anya's lovely. Xanthe fun, not keen on Eve.
