Re: Xena
in reply to a message by Zina
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.
Dreaming of...
Pandora Beatrix Clio ✦ Caspian Sherlock Walter ✦ Artemis Saffron Kit ✦ Ptolemy Arthur George
Horatio ✦ Lysander ✦ Nikolai ✦ Zephram ✦ Ambrose ✦ Indigo ✦ Cedric
Evanthe ✦ Morgana ✦ Valkyrie ✦ Ziva ✦ Demelza ✦ Zenobia ✦ Marigold
