[Opinions] Zenobia

Today's name of the day is Zenobia. WDYT?

It's... certainly a name. A lot of name. The regal history is unsurprising, as it feels queenly. I have never met a Zenobia, and cannot imagine one who wouldn't have a loud, extroverted personality. Personally, I think the modern Greek form Zinovia is more attractive (because I like Vs), but Zenobia is still attractive.

I answered on the other Zenobia post, but I like talking about my favourites. Personally I see Zenobia as more introverted or (ambiverted?) and I can imagine her being calm and collected, thoughtful, and intelligent. I actually find Zinovia more extroverted, she’s brighter and zippier, I’m reminded of spring a lot with the name. I also used to prefer Zenovia (as I also like Vs haha), but I got it stuck in my head that it sounds like a place. I do love pretty much all the nn options for it though.

You’re aware that Allison27 wrote a post today about the exact same name, right?
Anyway, I’ll copy and paste the same comment I left on her post:

In all honesty, Zenobia sounds pretentious and feels like it’s trying too hard to be exotic and refined. Its origin is nice enough, though.

Not right. I wasn't aware. I'd even checked before making this post.

Sorry for the repost, everyone.
