Hmmm, yeah. I can see the sci-fi aspect of it, but I think my sister's pretty set on including it somewhere. I think it could be a hard name to pull off in many ways while you're a kid. It's unusual and kids can be mean, and it's always awful being the kid with the name people can't say or spell, isn't it? I like:
Magdalene and Cassandra
Xanthe and Persephone
Xanthe and Evadne

I guess it's not my choice but I'll suggest those to them, since I, at least, like them :P. I think Cassandra got trashed pretty early in the name choosing process, but I could be wrong, eh?

That's what popped into my mind. sorry. I do like how it sounds though.

I don't know what Xanthum Gum is, so.

Me neither, so I don't know how likely it is that school kids will know. I had to look it up, so I'd be very embarrased if a lot of seven years olds knew more than me about that, haha. :P
