Chrisanthy
Ok I know I've asked about this name a zillion times but I need to really know peoples thoughts...Ive loved this name since forever. I only like this spelling and with the nickname Santhy not Chris or Chrissy.I don't know if I could use it, though I'd like to. I mentioned it to Cam and I told him the Chris part would honour his mum Christine. He liked that idea, but he had a hard time saying the whole name (hes happy with Santhy though). He has difficulty saying long words in general.I know it doesnt really fit with my other kids names which are quite common but it doesn't worry me too much. If I don't use it the only name similar which I also love is Xanthe. Are there any other names which are similar to Chrisanthy you can think of? Should I consider using this or ditch it completely?ThanksCassie...girlfriend to Cameron and mum to Hayley Anne, Skye Louise, Nathan James and Blake Robert

MyriantheOr any of them spelled alternatively.I think Chrisanthy is fine and I actually don't think it clashes with the other siblings names too much. I guess it is a problem if you husband has problems saying it though. Unless maybe he'll get the hang of it after a bit?EDIT: Do you know what middle name you'd use with Chrisanthy?

Probably Chrisanthy Joyce after Cam's grandma. I have to teach him to break down the syllables. He has problems with speech. He gets tongue-tied. He can say his sisters name Natasha, though she mostly goes by Tash. He can also say some other 3 syllable names too like Samantha. Chrisanthy shouldn't be too hard once he gets the hang of it.

I think Chrisanthy Joyce sounds nice with the siblings. It is definitely different and far more obscure than the other names. But I think Chrisanthy is one of those "blank-slate" names, particularly because it's an alternative spelling. I think if you used the classical spelling (Chrysanthe) instead it wouldn't go with the siblings as nicely. perhaps...
