[Opinions] WDYTO Zenobia?
Zenobia is the name of the day. I’ve always loved it, but I felt that it is a bit too much to use in real life. I love the nickname Zennie. Thoughts?

I think it's nice. I don't think it's unrealistically long (4 syllable names are common enough), and it's not difficult to pronounce, so I'd disagree about it being too much.The vibe I get from it is sort of like a cross between Zoe and Octavia. Spunky, stately, a little new-agey (I think because of the possibility of Zen as a NN).I don't love Zennie, but it'd work. Reminds me of Lenny.

love the sound (and esp its other forms like Zinoviya), dislike how it's derived from the name Zeus.

I absolutely adore it, but I’d never use it. It’s pretty extra.

I love Zenobia! She’s strong, passionate, and feisty, but intelligent, calm, and thoughtful too. I’m considering her among many for second favourite girls’ name, and I don’t really see her as too much. She has the same feel and complexity as Alexandra to me. And I agree there are a plethora of nn possibilities (my favourites being Zena, Enna, and B).

I prefer Zinoviya and I guess I'd call her Zinya or Nova.I'm not a fan of Zenobia really, but I'd call her just Zen for short.

I think you should use Nova. I don't like the name Zenobia.
