Thoughts on Xena

I heard this name on tv at the weekend and I think I quite like it. What is the general consensus? Nice or not?

Oh God, OP, you missed out on Xena WP??? She was incredible.

Warrior princess, but I like the name.

Warrior princess. But my kids probably wouldn't make the connection. Zena, maybe?

How about Xara, Zara, Zena, Xenab, Zainab or Xana to avoid warrior princess jokes. I'm not keen on names beginning with X, too much room for misprounciations. But Xena is nice.

Maybe it's an age thing? I'm 38 and my first thought was 'warrior princess'.

I didn't know of the warrior princess connection

First thought - warrior princess.

Not a fan tbh. Sorry

I like it but you'll get all the warrior princess jokes.
