Xanthe-Eleni a gorgeous name!
I've only ever known one Xanthe and she was spanish
If you don't mind me asking you, what nationality will your baby be?! i hope thats not to personal!xxx
I don't mind at all, honey, and thank you for the compliment.
Both my DH and I are Greek but we've been living in the UK for almost a decade now, and so, I'll raise her as a proper bilingual child.
Xanthe was the name of my MIL who very unfortunately passed away when my DH was 20. Second name is my own mum's. It's a tradition in Greece to name babies after grandparents, although in that respect, DH and I are not really that traditional. We're doing this because a) we want to honour my MIL's memory and b)because both names are easily pronounceable here in the UK.
If she were a boy, then we'd be in big trouble. I suspect that if we ever have a boy though we'll just find a random lovely name for him, and our fathers will just have to live with it.
