Aglaia and Xenia

Aglaia is great. How are you pronouncing it? I know it is pronounced, "ah-glah-EE-uh" in Russian. In English, I say, "ah-GLIE-uh" but I'm never sure if that should be more like, "ah-GLAY-uh."

Xenia is pronounced "KSEH-nee-uh" in Russian. I'm sure of that. I assume Xenia is also pronounced that way in the original Greek. Either that, or "ZEE-nee-uh." But double check with someone who is sure.
