[Facts] Re: Chimene - the name.
in reply to a message by Chimene
I'm not sure about the Greek bit but my name was also taken from the film El Cid which was about Spanish history and the name Chimene (Shi-men) was used instead of Jimena / Ximena which was the name of the real person. I'm assuming they changed it to the French version to make it easier to say for the English speaking tongue as a J and X has a certain sound in Spanish.
