I think this is an absolutely wonderful name, really beautiful and strong-sounding, although despite this, I do not consider this being usable, except on somebody who is Middle Eastern or of Persian/Middle Eastern descent. I think the name Roxanne is more of a westernized version, and could be usable for Europeans, but, unfortunately, I don't like this variant.
