I really like Xenia, and pronounced it ZEN-ee-uh (or ZEN-yuh). X is a cool letter that isn't often at the start of names.

---

While the name itself is Greek, I always envision someone Slavic with this name (though in the Latin alphabet it would more likely be transliterated as Kseniya). This is likely because of the villain Xenia Onatopp in GoldenEye (gotta love those Bond girl names, right?). Because of this association, I cannot imagine a Xenia who isn't attractive. The femme fatale energy is strong.

Xenia Violet
Xenia Guinevere
Xenia Willow
Xenia Penelope
Xenia Frederica
Xenia Rosalie
Xenia Chloe Isobel (this one is from a UK birth announcement shared on the polls)
Xenia Alexandra Selena (also from those UK BAs)
Xenia Josephine
Xenia Lucretia
Xenia Marguerite

---

Xenia's siblings' names would vary, depending on Xenia's culture. If she's Greek, they'd likely be Alexandros, Nefeli, Savvas, or Thalia - something like that.

---

If she's Slavic, they'd be Alexandr / Alexei, Daria, Nikolai "Kolya," or Yelena.

---

If she's Georgian (like Xenia Onatopp), they'd be Aleksandre / Aleksi, Endzela, Levan, or Medea. (You might include Medea up with the Greek names, too.)

Pretty! I really like Xenia... I prefer Ksenia / Kseniya a little bit more, and I think it makes pronunciation easier. I like it pronounced with both ks and z sounds for x, but I personally pronounce Xenia and Kseniya round about the same. I really love it, would absolutely use it (probably as a middle name) and I think it's really fun and unusual and vibrant. It has a lively, gregarious, headstrong, fiery vibe despite it's softer meaning.

I pronounce the X with a Z sound, and I have no idea if that is correct. The name is fine, I don’t have a strong reaction towards loving or hating it. It is a unique name but not over the top unique.

---

I think a simple middle name would work on this to compliment the unique name. Maybe not so common like rose or Grace… maybe something fairly common but not as quite, like Faye, Mae, Claire.

---

I can’t think of any good sibling names off the top of my head since my taste does tend to be more “boring.” I like the idea of using a Greek origin type name or names that have the same general meaning (hospitality, foreigner, guest).

I pronounce it roughly like "ZEEN-ya." I love its cross-cultural glamor.
