Ksenia, Oksana, Oxana
Thoughts? Also Lyubov?

Ksenia. In my opinion it seems 'authentic', complete, if you can say that about a name.
And I don't like Lyubov' at all. It means 'love', literally, and considers a bit old lady name by native speakers.

Ditto Lyubov. I knew one and she hated her name.

I dislike Oksana and especially Oxana, the latter reminding me of ox and both sounding standoffish. I love Ksenia and I'd consider using it, it's considered quite preppy here. I know Lyubov is a feminine name, but it sounds too much like a patronymic to me.

I like Oksana but not the others.
Ksenia and Lyubov - don't like the sound.
Oxana - I'd rather see Oksana or Roxana.

Oksana is my favorite of those you list. The hospitality meaning is nice. Oxana looks to much like ox, which is a slow, plodding, and somewhat dense association albeit strong. Ksenia is nice.Lyubov - I imagine him as someone who desperately wants to be a lady's man but tends to come on too strong and make a mess of things.Edited: After reading the other comments, I learned that Lyubov is a female name. Oops.
