I really, really like it. I think I mentioned that earlier. I thought about it a little, and realized it sounds like one of my sister's friends. They quite often have these beautiful, vowel-heavy names from foreign languages that are not necessarily spoken by them (or any of their ancestors)...which I think can really work in some cases (Hamza is close to my #1 boy name, after all). I prefer Ruxandra nn Ruxi...I think unusual nns are even better when they have an unusual fn with a neat history to go along with them. And just for the record, the friends of my sister (who is 16 and named Zoë, and no, we're not Greek, though she was named after a Greek family friend), whose names I associate with Ruxi are: Nayiri, Zekiyyah, Sarai, and Linnea.
