The only Basque name familiar to me is Arantxa, as in the tennis player Sanchez-Vicario. I think Arantxa sounds fine.

I like Basque names too.

From your list, my faves are:

---

Benat
Eneko
Erramun
Xanti - I especially like this one.
Amets - For a boy.
Izar - I believe it's prn EE-sar or ee-SAR, because Zs are prn like Ss in Basque.
Maite
Naiara

I would also recommend Edorta, Mikel, Inyaki (een-YAH-kee), and Ixaka (ee-SHAH-ka) for boys, and Esti, Maider (my-DARE), and Ixabel (ee-shah-BEL) for girls. The prns are only educated guesses because I'm not an expert on Basque prns at all.

I like/love:

Benat
Eneko
Xanti

Elixabete
Katalin
Maita
Nayara

And though you didn't list it here, I also really like Alaia.
