Ianthe vs Xanthe

Which do you like better? :slight_smile:

[name]Ianthe[/name]. [name]Xanthe[/name] seems a bit awkward to me and [name]Ianthe[/name] is much softer and prettier with the meaning violet.

[name]Ianthe[/name]…both hard to say and kind of akward

I don’t find either hard to say (ee-an-thee and [name]Zan[/name]-thee)

I prefer [name]Xanthe[/name] though. I love the Z sound at the beginning and [name]Xan[/name] is a cute nickname.

I vote [name]Xanthe[/name]! The X is a really distinguished letter than you never ever see.

I love [name]Xanthe[/name]. It seems fresh with names like [name]Quinn[/name] or [name]Wren[/name].

[name]Xanthe[/name]! Definitely [name]Xanthe[/name], it’s a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine! It has such a distinct, original sound one of the very few, and underused x names that are beautiful!

I like both but think I prefer [name]Xanthe[/name]. If I used it I would nickname her [name]Thea[/name]! :slight_smile:

[name]Xanthe[/name]. Having an ‘X’ name is cool.

[name]Xanthe[/name]–much easier coming off the tongue and a great name

Xanthe gets my vote for its exotic look, “Z” sound and creative flair! It has the cool “X” which is appealing. I also like it’s 2-syllable sound more than Ianthe. It’s particularly attractive for a fair-haired child as it means “golden” or “yellow”.

[name]Ianthe[/name], but I say ‘eye-anth-ee’. [name]Xanthe[/name] is lovely too.
