Help[Opinions] Xanadu?
I can see where this would be associated with the Olivia Newton-John song or the movie by the same name, but I really love this name. The fact it starts with an X gives it an exotic look, IMO.
What are everyone's thoughts on this name?

re: Xanadu?
I agree, it makes me think of the poem by Coleridge:
"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree..."
I used to live near an exotic dancing/stripper bar named the Pleasure Dome, after this poem, so to me Xanadu sounds like a stripper name.
Sorry!

Strictly pet material.

I knew a girl whose middle name was Xanadu. Her fist name was Vienna. I rather like it - and it has the sneaky "Ana" hidden in it, so the nicknames Anna and Annie can be used if so desired.
I have never heard of the Olivia Newton John song - I think of the Coleridge poem Kubla Khan, Marco Polo and a glittering paradise of legend.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

Makes me think of a hyper teenager from teen camp many years ago... only Xanadu I've ever met... nice gal... just hyper.

What a terrible name! I don't hate it but I don't like it.
