    MN for girl - Xanthe or Xali

    Hi
    I'm leaning towards Xanthe or Xali for a girl. We're having trouble coming up with a middle name.

    Xanthe (pronounced Zan - thee)
    Xali (pronounced Zah - lee, like Zali Stegal)

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    I am not a fan of Xanthe only becaue of a bad asscociation with someone with that name.. her middle name is Lee.. which does flow nicely!

    LOVE Xali - and the suggest of Xali Rose. My neice is called Xali Tiger (spelt Zarli, which I personally don't like) different.. growing on my slowly - she is 2 HEHE

    Sorry was trying to think of other suggestions but my head if full of names ending in "i" and "y" so they are all too rhyme-y..

    BBL with some

    Xanthe is beautiful...middle names....Jade, Summer, Mae, Bluebell, Imogen, Petunia, Agnes, the options are endless...

    Give us more hints, 1, 2, or 3+ syllabils? How many syllabils in your last name?

    Thanks for the suggestions so far ladies. Keep them coming )

    I kind of like Rose, Grace, Mae, Ellis, Stella, Samara, Olivia (although initials might look like a kiss hug.. X O B...) Paige I like.. DP not so much...

    The Surname starts with B and is 2 syllables

    I'm leaning towards 1 or 2 syllable MNs that are quite girly.

    Xanthe Cara
    Xanthe Cate
    Xanthe Hope


    Xali Bree
    Xali Edith
    Xali Lyla

    I love Xali!! I have a niece who is Zarli Makenzi (I personally am not keen on her spelling- I would have Zahlee or Zahli). A beautiful name and its not completely unheard of but not common either.
