[Opinions] Re: Xenia
in reply to a message by ari.
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.)
