I'm not sure whether I'll have the guts to use it in person either. We'll see! I think it's a spunky and sweet word name with a beautiful origin (little song? aww!)
Thanks! I'm a little bit addicted to French girls names so thats probably a big part of it. And spunkiness is the exact thing that
Xanthe brings to my mind too so thats perfect.
My boy list I think has two distinct styles (where as my girl list is all over the place!) There's the grumpy old man list (
Grover,
Felix,
Oscar,
August) and there's the trendy modern list (
Griffin,
Deacon, Boston,
Hudson) with a few obscure and not so obscure biblical names thrown in for good measure (
Ezra,
Boaz,
Zimri).
I can't use
Felix with
Xanthe so don't count on me for that one, but
Griffin and
Grover are both definite possibilities! If I had a boy tomorrow, he'd be
Griffin.
