HelpXena
Yes. Warrior Princess.
But, I actually think it’s an adorable name; I always think of the guy who discovered the dwarf planet Eris (another pretty, if prickly, choice), who wanted to choose Xena, and I always think there should be a little dot on a space map that says “Xena” now.
I think it will become more useable. What’s your opinion?
I love Xena Catherine. I think I really would use it.

I adore Xena, even moreso because of the Warrior Princess connection, not in spite of her. It's strong, and feisty, but a little silly and playful too, which is what I love in a name.
The only thing that stops me personally from using it, is that it sounds the same as the word in Islam for infidelity, and whilst I'm not Muslim, my paternal side is, so it'd be a little awkward. I do have Xena/Zena as a nn for one of my other favourite names, so there's still hope haha.

I like Xena. I like Xenia more. I do like it more than Eris.
Xena Catherine is nice. It's a bit like Lena, but ... cooler hahaha
Xenia actually makes it pretty high on my lists sometimes. I like the meaning - stranger is one of those meanings that is powerful because it is challenging, like Claudia.

Interesting; I always associated Xenia, which I adore with the meaning “hospitality”

I guess it does mean hospitality! But that meaning comes ultimately from "foreigner/guest" which I guess I extrapolated to mean stranger. I think of the biblical value of being hospitable towards strangers, which I think is very deep

Um, I think it's ok

I adored it since my childhood. I think it sounds strong yet so feminine, and I like the X initial. I think it could rise in popularity somewhere in the future based on the popular culture association though.
p.s. I realized that it pronounced the same as how your posting name (Zina) is pronounced haha

Yeah but I stole Zina from one of Joseph Smith’s wives. Her name was the coolest of the sister-wives. Lol I am not judging.
