HelpRe: Roxanne nn Roxie
in reply to a message by queenv
It's okay.
One minute it seems effortfully-spunky/sexy ... rocksy is the sound. It's like a female version of Rocky. Like Moxie or Trixie.
The next minute, I think it sounds vintage, shrewd and canny like Dot or Maggie or Rosie or Jill or Joanie or Dixie or Betty or Lou.
Roxanne nn Roxie isn't much different from just Roxie, I guess. Roxanne seems more dated to me than Roxie, though - reminds me of Roseanne and Marianne and Suzanne. The song about the prostitute is unfortunate but I don't think it really interferes with my image of the name - I think the name already has a "sexy" vibe because of the rock and the X, and it seems like that could be why they chose it for the song.
As a baby name Roxie is like Dixie - better than Trixie, and not bad, but I still have to take a moment to get over my image of it as self-consciously 'sexy,' before I can appreciate its style. I guess I think Roxanne nn Roxie is better than just Roxie. Roxana / Roxanna nn Roxie would appeal to me even more.
That's odd - there isn't a name Roshana in the db.
