[Opinions] Re: Zenobia
I really like this name, and have for many years; it is, of all things, a Conan reference. In the stories written by Robert E. Howard (a Texan!), and later expounded upon by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter, Zenobia is Conan's eventual wife and queen, though there are many other women featured throughout his escapades (Belit, Sonja, Valeria).I also like the spelling Xenobia, but the whole "Xeno = alien" thing throws that off, imo.I've never really tried to come up with a good Zenobia combo, I'll be interested to see what gets suggested.Zuleika is nice, though I totally prefer Zenobia, as you can see.The combos you made are all pretty, with lovely meanings. As for suggestions for some of the other names, I'm afraid I'm at a loss. I'm not so good at Asian names. Good luck, though.
