1. What do you think of the name Xanthe?
-I love this name. I found it about a year ago when I was looking for a character name and loved it instantly. It just has that spark.2. Have to ever met one? How old was she?
-No, I've never met a Xanthe.3. If you haven't met one and did, what would your reaction be?
-I'd be gushing about it, probably.4. What colour hair would you think a girl named Xanthe would have?
-Red or blonde. Possibly dyed some impossible color.5. Do you think it goes with my other kids names?
-Not Nathan and Blake, but it goes nicely with the girls' names.6. Do you like these middle names:?
Xanthe Willow - Yes.
Xanthe Elise - Not really. It sounds odd to me.
Xanthe Camille - No.
Xanthe Iris - Yes.
Xanthe Rose - Sort of.
Xanthe Isobel - Yes.
Xanthe Leona (honouring) - Yes.
Xanthe Christine ( honouring) - No.
Xanthe Joyce ( honouring) - No.

1. I like it. It was my favourite for a while.
2. Nope.
3. Probably, 'WOW! That is so cool!'
4. Blonde. I mean, that is what it means.
5. Not really. It's very different and largely unheard of, whereas they're not names you would quirk an eyebrow at (although I do love them, I'm even warming to Blake). But maybe as a middle name?
6. Hmm...Xanthe Willow- yes, gorgeous
Xanthe Elise- love Elise, but it doesn't flow IMO
Xanthe Camille- lovely
Xanthe Iris- nice
Xanthe Rose- feels a little filler
Xanthe Isobel- okay, prefer Isabelle
Xanthe Leona (honouring)- nice
Xanthe Christine ( honouring)- very nice
Xanthe Joyce ( honouring)- sweet
Xanthe Ivy ( honouring)- no, I don't think it does flow. What about Xanthe Isobel Ivy?What about using it as a mn? Eliza Xanthe is pretty, and I think Eliza goes really well with your other kids' names. Maybe Elisa Xanthe? You like Elise. Or Isobel Xanthe, that would work. Also Leona Xanthe. I have a soft spot for Isobel Xanthe Joyce.

I really like Xanthe. I haven't met one but I'd love to. Xanthe would probably have red or brown hair. I think Xanthe has a very different sound to your kids names though.

1. I like it a lot
2. I've never met one, but rural Michigan is not a place where Xanthe is normally seen and would be viewed as exotic.
3. I'd love the name and glad to have finally met one.
4. I'd suspect a blonde or brunette, I can't see it on a redhead.
5. I can see it going with the sisters, but Blake would clash. So no, I can't see the name fitting in very well stylistically.
6. I can see Camille and Elise working well with Xanthe.

1. What do you think of the name Xanthe? - dislike it. Not really my style, not interesting.
2. Have to ever met one? How old was she? - I know 3 or 4? Ranging from babies to a teenager and a 30 year old
3. If you haven't met one and did, what would your reaction be? - probably 'meh'. It's not an interesting name to me, so I wouldn't think too much of it.
4. What colour hair would you think a girl named Xanthe would hsve? One has blonde hair, the other three have brown.
5. Do you think it goes with my other kids names? ( Hayley, Skye, Nathan and Blake) - not remotely. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Hayley, Skye and Nathan are very 90s names to me. Xanthe is a completely different style.
6. Do you like these middle names:?
These are nice enough:
Xanthe Iris
Xanthe Rose
Xanthe Isobel

1. I adore the name Xanthe. It's a favorite of mine. 2. I've never met one. 3. I would be happy and make a mental note of it or make a simple comment that I like the person's name.4. I can't decide whether a Xanthe would have blonde or brown hair. 5. I don't think it fits with your children's names. 6. Xanthe Isobel is beautiful.
