[Opinions] Roxanne, Roxana, or Roxanna?
Replies
My middle name is Roxanne. I like it better than I like Starla, that's for sure. My mother picked Roxanne because she liked the Police song about Roxanne and the red light.
I guess I just like Roxanne. Never really thought about Roxanna or Roxana. They're not bad but I think they are a bit much. There is also a tiny town here in Delaware called Roxanna.
A couple of my cousins call me Roxie, and I don't mind them doing it, but in general I don't like the name Roxie, it sounds like a go-go dancer from 1974, or somebody on Hee Haw. Annie is real hillbilly, and seems a cop-out nickname for Roxanne.

Mmm, I pronounce Roxana and Roxanna differently, Roxana ending like ah-na ans Roxanna like an-na. At first I definitely preferred Roxanna because of the look, it looks more complete but the more I said Roxana the more I liked it. Really pretty sound. An old friend's mom I knew was named Roxana and she was from Peru, went by Roxy/Roxie. I feel like a name like that, especially with the nickname Roxie, you'd have to own it. I cannot see a quiet bookworm girl named Roxy. Roxy/Roxanna is just a very outgoing, spunky name, I can't imagine one not being like that.
My favorite is Roxanna, followed by Roxanne. I'd be pleased to meet someone with either name. Roxie and Annie are both great nicknames, and I love how there's both a sassy nickname and a sweet nickname available. No matter what her personality, she's set.
I want to like Roxana, but I have the same problem with it that I have with Isadora: I want to break it up into its component sounds until I'm left with an incomplete sentance. In Roxana's case, it's "rocks on a." Rocks on a what??
