Xili....?

[sheflieswithherownwings]

I automatically thought of Silly Xili and people calling her silly/stupid etc. The youngest of children pick up rhyming words pretty quickly and me and my class of 4 years always make up silly rhymes with people's names so I can imagine children having fun with a name like Xili but this can also become a form of teasing. So for the sake of a future daughter I'd find a new name, and perhaps leave this for the middle name or a pet.

Thanks! That's really good to know. Young children can be pretty mean. :/

What about Selah with Seely as a nn. The S is so close to the Z sound in Xili and I think it looks prettier when written.

[lovejaybayy]

I agree! Seely is certainly more aesthetically pleasing :]

It sounds cute enough but in looking at it, I immediately thought of Roman numerals and was doing math in my head.

Gigi is much cuter.

I thought of Silly Xili too :-( And it sort of reminds me of the Italian food Ziti too, LOL.

Gigi for Georgiana is really spectacular! If you like Seely, what about Seena? I knew a lady with that name once, I've never seen her name before or since but she was a real sweetie and it sounded pretty. I'm not really into the double-E thing but it reminded me with the Seely. Also Leelee nn for any of the Lily names, i.e. Liliana, Lilllian?

I knew a girl growing up named Sealee (See-lee) and no one had a problem with it at all. She was a very popular and well liked girl.

I knew a Zelia growing up. Zeli would be a more instinctive spelling and a great nn for Zelia.
I like the sound of "Z" and "X" in names.

I quite the sound of the name once I read how you pronounce it but it still doesn't sound like a full name to me, perhaps you could use it as a mn for something? (I'm not sure what though!) Also I think there would DEFINITELY be spelling AND pronounciation issues! When I first saw your post my first thought was that it was roman numerals! I also thought it was a boys name till you said you see it on a white blonde girl. That is my honest opinion but if you love it, go for it...

not trying to be mean, but when I saw this I thought it was a roman numeral!
