Anyone Greek? Need help! Name- Xanthe

[cooch]

I love Xanthe I'd always thought pronunciation was Zan th ay. However I'm seeing online Zan th eee, which I don't actually like. Some things sound different with different accents, I'm uk based. And to say Xanthee wouldn't really work. Any info? Thanks xx

Thanks, my Scottish accent sound horrid with zanthee. Think it's going to have to be Scarlett!!

I'm in the US and I know a little Xanthe and she says it zan-thee

I also like Xanthia/Xanthea which is zan-thee-ah

I'm from New Zealand and only heard it said with a thee sound.

I'm in Canada and would pronounce it Zan-thee as well.

Edit: Congrats, minties! Love that you chose Emma.

I can't pronounce Zan thee with a Scottish accent sounds daft!! I'm sure it's lovely with an English one. Scottish accent sounds better with zanthay ��
