    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.

    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!

    I like the spelling of Dante. I also like the idea of pairing it with a traditional name.

    Dante Theodore is just TOOOO CUTE! It's also a name that would grow well with him!

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. DH doesn't like Dante at all.

    Malachi is lovely, but do you think it is getting common? DH likes Ardi.

    I don't think Malachi is common - I think its a great name!
    I think I like Arti more than Ardi...

    I like Malachi (and no I don't think its common at all). I knew a Mallick once - I think that's a pretty cool name.
