I discovered the name [name_f]Xenia[/name_f] recently, and I fell in love with it straight away, and it’s working it’s way up to be one of my favorites. Is it usable, or too outlandish? If not as a first name, is it reasonable as a middle name? Comment your thoughts!
Any other names I might like the sound of? Looking for names starting with unusual letters (Q, X, Y, etc)
I like it too. It is definitely usable. It is also a name that was popular in the Russian Imperial family and used for several daughters of Russian czars. It is no more out there than many other names used for babies.
I think it’s perfectly usable, although not for me. Makes me think of the actress, [name_f]Xenia[/name_f] Goodwin. I also prefer [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f].
I know two Xenias, so its definitely usable!
How do you feel about [name_f]Zerline[/name_f], [name_f]Zephyra[/name_f], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Xantho[/name_f], [name_f]Urse[/name_f] or [name_f]Quilla[/name_f]?
How is that pronounced?
[name_f]Gen[/name_f]-ya Shen-ya [name_u]Zen[/name_u]-ya?
I prefer the Russian Kseniya which helps with knowing pronunciation and feels softer to me. Possible nn. Kennie, [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u], [name_f]Nia[/name_f]
I think it’s interesting and different, and I like the historical, regal vibe. For me the only issue would be people using different pronunciations (I like ZEEN-ee-uh, but I’m sure there are other ways to pronounce it).
