Pretty neutral, vaguely dislike.
I really like Roxana. It feels like just an extra syllable added that’s unnecessary but ultimately inoffensive.

I like this name, and think the original Roxelana is really interesting, but I can’t imagine in it on a real person.

Negative; sounds and looks like a trade name, perhaps for elasticated stockings.

The meaning isn't as fun as Roxana or Svetlana, and I prefer the look of Roksolana. It'd be interesting to encounter IRL, though.

Looks like just a dressed-up version of Roxana. I guess I’m neutral to it.

Neutral.ETA: is it a real name?
