[Opinions] Eusebia and Uxia

I go to school with two Hispanic girls with very unusual names. They are sisters, and Eusebia (yoo-SAY-bee-ah) is two years older than me, and Uxia (oo-SHEE-ah) is my age. Eusebia was born on the feast day of Saint Eusebia (August 13th?) and Uxia was named after a famous outlaw from her parent's country of Argentina, named Uxia Rosalinda Sieves y Lucientes, a.k.a. "Uxia del Muerte".
Uxia can be pron. oo-SHEE-ah or oo-SEE-ah.
I think both their names are intriguing, and very attractive. Thoughts?

Uxia is definately an acquired taste, but Eusebia reminds me of Eulalia, Eulalie, Euthalia, Eugenie, Eugenia, etc.

Holy cow. I didn't I'd hear of a real person named Uxia. Very cool. I'll have to look up information about her namesake. :-)

Eusebia is gorgeous. I met a Eusebio once. I'm adding Eusebia to my long list so don't be surprised if you see me suggesting it sometime.

I couldn't really find that much online about Uxia del Muerte. Only what Uxia (the one I know) told me, and a tidbit about her in the comment section under "Uxia". I'm starting to think it might be a legend or something, but I like it better pretending this woman existed :)

I don't like either of them and I don't understand why a parent would name their child after an outlaw.

She was an outlaw, but she was loved by the public because she took action against the corrupt gov't of the time. Uxia del Muerte is to Argentina what Ned Kelly was to old Australia and what Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker were to Depression-Era America.

One man's outlaw is another man's hero / Robin Hood, no?
