Xenia

Spanish pronunciation is /'se.nja/ (as shown in the data, it's been decently popular in Spain since the 1990s). [noted -ed]

I've heard this pronounced in English as both ZEE-nee-ə (ZEE-nyə) and ZEN-ee-ə (ZEN-yə). The first pronunciation is clearly influenced by Xena, whereas the latter pronunciation is likely influenced by the Slavic variant Kseniya.

I know several Russian people with this name, and they pronounce it Ks-ey-nee-uh. Somewhat better-sounding in my ears.
