I prefer Xiomara. Xanthia sounds princess-y to me, but Xiomara has more personality.

One of my favorite names is Xanthe, so Xanthia is best.

Hi !!!!

I choose Xiomara!

I like Spanish names and this one sounds exotic but really strong.

Xanthia seems too frilly and over-elaborated.

Xanthia by far. I've liked it for about 4 years now, just not enough for it to be a top contender for another daughter. Xanthia has better flow than Xiomara and I also think it would be easier for people to know how to pronounce.

Xanthia. It's been on and off my list in the past.

I don't have any real feeling about Xiomara. I immediately identify it as a Hispanic name and haven't really given it much thought before. I don't really like Mara though, adding a Xio- doesn't make me like it more.

Xanthia

Both are gorgeous names, but I prefer Xanthia in terms of sound. I do have Xanthe and Evanthe on my list, so I'm a little biased, but I like that Xanthia is unusual, but beautiful and pretty easy to say and spell. Plus it's quite familiar through its similarity to Anthea, but a little brighter and energetic in my opinion.

They're both really cool. I think I'd choose Xanthia in the end, though, because I'm partial to Greek names. If I were Latino, I might lean more towards Xiomara, though, because it's not an atypical name at all for them (I went to school with 2).
