I'm not huge on Roxana or Roxanne, but I've heard worse. I think I prefer Roxana between the two. I can appreciate some things about it, like how it falls into the "not unheard of but still uncommon" name category. But it's just never been a favorite of mine. It's growing on me--I don't outright dislike it like I used to--but I'm not in love with it, either. For someone else's kid I'd be all about it, I think. I'd have to say that what bothers me most about Roxana / Roxanne is the potential for the nickname Roxy or Roxie, which reduces an interesting name to something that I think sounds a wee bit on the trashy side.

For the slightly more daring, I recommend Roxelana. :-)
