How do you get Russian stripper out of a Greek name? *eye roll*

the Russian stripper name...
It's originally Greek but possibly more common in Eastern Europe these days, and all the Xenias I've met are Russian. so that eye roll was superfluous. I don't think it's stripper-sounding in a Russian context, but since it's very exotic sounding in a Western European one, it reminds me a bit of the sort of name an Eastern European stripper might use over here.
