Help[Opinions] Re: Evadne and Xanthe
in reply to a message by Adelle
Don't really like Evadne because I think it looks awkward, and Lenore reminds me of washing powder!
On the other hand, I love Xanthe, (and Ianthe, Persephone and Daphne) and Xanthe Maris sounds very pretty. I'm not completely sure on Maris though, because I still have the urge to pronounce it like Marie. How about Xanthe Helen? Or is that a bit OTT on the Greek references?
Other suggestions:
Xanthe Jessamine
Xanthe Lilian
Xanthe Melisande
Xanthe Rosalind
This is hard! I think I'm going to give up now and just try and convince myself that Maris has an s on the end :p It really is very pretty when I say it right.
How are you pronouncing Xanthe by the way? I assumed ZAN-thee.
