@OpheliaFlora did a good job of explaining it, it really is like the end of necks (ks) combined with -eh noise like in zen (z-ehn)

and yes! like kuh-sen but faster, and with no n at the end

Wouldn’t the syllables technically be xen & ya, though?

i’d probably assume ksenia was russian or otherwise eastern european, but not greek! i pronounce ksenia as k-SEN-ee-a, but xenia as ZEN-ya. for what it’s worth, i’ve known several girls called xenia, all said like that.

The only [name_f]Ksenia[/name_f] I’ve ever known was Ukrainian/Russian so no my mind wouldn’t jump to Greek

The only Sashas I’ve ever known in the US were girls, but I think it can totally work on a boy here as well!

I went to school with one from kindy all the way through high school. Not only did it work, but I remember learning that his nickname was Russian and thinking it was incredibly cool! (He and his family are Russian.)

I think it depends on where you are. I think it works fine, but I also grew up in an area with a lot of people who had left the former USSR.

Thank you! [name_m]Can[/name_m] I ask, do you think it’s a bit too ‘spacey’ themed since [name_u]Izar[/name_u] means [name_f]Star[/name_f] in Basque and [name_f]Luminara[/name_f] is from [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars (and is similar to other names like Luminate, [name_u]Luminary[/name_u], etc)

I decided I want to use Twiggy for sure… I can imagine my little girl Twiggy Ann in little vintage overalls picking handfuls of dandelions and carrying around a kitty that’s just as big as she is… it just feels… right.

Now my dilemma…

  • Be bold and use it as a first name! Give her a middle to fall back on.
  • Put it in the middle but use it like a first.
  • Name her something else completely and just use it as a nickname.
