It's cool, but unuseable. I also like the Italian version Polissena, it's better without the x.

I think it sounds like a medicinal cream or something.

My instinct is to say pawl-ee-ZEE-na, I'm guessing the more accurate is something like pawl-ee-KSEE-na? I have trouble with those Xs in Greek names. Those are probably both wrong. But yeah, of of the two I would go for.

It's a pretty cool name, and I personally see "many foreigners" before "many warrior princesses" as the other commenters mentioned, probably because Greek mythology and Harry Potter (Luna's dad was Xenophilius), as well as discussions of xenophobia, were a bigger part of my formative years than Xena Warrior Princess.

I'd pronounce it po-lee-KSE-nah. I think it's all right. I'm not a big fan of names starting with Poly-.

Many warrior princesses?

That's no good... or is it? ;) I'd pronounce it PAHL-ee-ZEE-nə.

My guess, 'pol-ee-ZEE-nah'.

I don't think it's usable.

Poly, like the Latin word.
Xena, like the warrior princess.

That's how I would pronounce it. I don't like it, though. Love the idea of multiple Xenas, but not a good name. ^.^
