I like the name Dante too - but we have someone in the family who is connected to someone with that name...iykwim - so we cant use it.

If your into Xanthe for a girl, a boy equivilant (though I think is not the same meaning) is Xanti.

Dont worry too much what people think, choose names that you and your DH like cause in the end names that people consider unusual will always raise eyebrow to begin with, but they get use to it after a while.

Very true

At first with my kids I get - the raised eyebrow - then - how do you spell that - then - oh, thats very unusual - then - oh its quite pretty.... all in that order...lol

I had it again yesterday with Mehkelti

I'm with you guys, I don't care what others think! I'd rather an original / unusual name than a boring one, LOL.

I like Xander / Xavier but it is becoming incredibly popular so I don't think we would go that way. Plus we have a nephew Zanda.

Dante or Donte? hmmm

What middle name goes with Dante? Dante Theodore? Theodore is more of an old classic than original though. Ahh so hard!

Hi all,
Our daughters name is Aliyah pronounced A-leah.Her middle name is Christine like the car.It sounds pretty together.We got it from the US R&B singer who died in a plane crash some years back although she spelt hers with a double A.
Its Arabic and it means highly exalted
I like Silas and Zane as Boys names
