Xena > Lux > Beatrix > Nyx

1. Lux
2. Xena
3. Nyx
4. Beatrix

I’d go with Lux. I’ve always liked it since I heard it in my teens. I do like Beatrix too, because of Beatrix Potter. Nyx and Xena aren’t for me.

Nyx

Beatrix for sure, it's the only one of those that looks like a complete name

Nyx and Lux were never used as names in Latin, and in English Nyx sounds like 'nicks' and Lux is, well, soap. Night and Light wouldn't work for me as given names either. Xena looks like a spelling mistake: I'm not familiar with the tv original. That leaves Beatrix, which is definitely OK but which I'd never use because Beatrice is a family name which I have given to my daughter.

Beatrix
Xena
Lux
Nyx

Beatrix is nice, but the vibe it creates really depends on the name(s) it's paired with.
Nyx is very cool, but almost too cool for a real person. It might make a fun middle name.
Xena is nice, but I really prefer Xenia. Xenia's lovely.
Lux isn't my style. It is similar to Nyx in terms of 'too cool' vibe and also makes me think of the short term for 'luxury' which...eh... is a choice...

Order of preference:

Beatrix
Nyx
Xena
Lux

Beatrix-I think it is nice, but I prefer Beatrice
Nyx-I think this is pretty good
Xena-Decent, but I vastly prefer Lena
Lux-I don’t really like it
