Hideous.

I know a Xia. Better. Still a bit odd.

Snap, lljkk! I was exactly going to come on and say it sounds like a weight loss drug! That's bizarre, but obviously suggests there is a connection.

Not keen. I do like Myla and Kyla though.

Report
navada · 22/02/2013 10:35

Kyla is a beautiful name.

Sounds like a food additive not a person. Sorry.

It does sound made up to me to be honest. What about Zia or Skylar?

Phone.

I prefer Xiola (zy-ola) but to be honest, I think that names beginning with 'X' just don't look right. Perhaps this is because they're so rare in the UK and Ireland.

I like Xenia (the name, obviously Grin )
Xyla means 'wooden' doesn't it?

It's a brand of sweetener: Xyla

Xanthe?

TheCountessOlenska · 22/02/2013 11:31

Oooh I like Xanthe - go with that OP.

Not Xyla.

xylo is Greek for 'wood', not an easy name to be saddled with.

Xanthe is nice (but I live too close to the city of that name to be able to choose it!)

Xanthe sounds posh. Xyla sounds like the parents already have 23 children, and like different initials for each.

Sounds wooden to me.
