WDYT of Xanthe? It's been a long-time favorite of mine (long-time as in about 7 years), but has never been a name that I've been absolutely head-over-heels in love with. Recently, though, its really been growing on me. I used to wish that my middle name was Xanthe instead of Elizabeth. Aileen Xanthe... oh that's too cool! Opinions?

Aileen Xanthe is way too cool. I'm into Xanthe lately. Like I'm just about to add it to my PNL. In fact I am going to do it now.

Depends

I liked it when I thought it was pronounced ZAN-tha/ZAN-thay but it seems the ZAN-thee pronunciation prevails so it's not going on my list.

I say it as zan-thee but I like zan-tha too.

I love it, but then I'm almost convinced I was Greek in a former life. :-D

I don't like it. It sounds more like a nickname to me than a full name.

Xanthe is a pretty name with a lot of spunk. I like it.
