Why do you need one?

bemybebe · 18/10/2011 21:47

Zen? Zennie?

You could spell it Ksenia, as Xenia will often be pronounced as though with a "Z". I knew a Ksenia whose nickname was Ksiusha (Ksyoosha), which was very sweet. However, she was actually Russian, so people were a bit more comfortable with the name and nn!

Nia?

Zee?

I also know of Ksiusha (v sweet), but pronouncing it for an english-speaking audience sounds too close to 'sushi'...
I like Zee Smile

Nia is good, I like it.

You could use Ena (prn ee-nah)

HettyAmaretti · 28/10/2011 15:55

Sorry, mixing it up with Xena (good friends name)

Zinnia is pretty...

I knew a Ksenia and a Zinnia but neither used n/n, guess it would be Xen or Zin.
