I love this name! Unhappily, in my language, it would be written like: Ifigênia; and I don't like this version at all. ;(

It does a little now that you mention it. But to me it also sounds like a breed of flower.

Love the "genia" part (especially since it is pronounced like Jen), but that "iphi" beginning is really... iffy.

I LOVED it until I said it out loud. It's not on my list anymore, needless to say. ^_^

This is a whole lot of name. To me, it sounds like the genus of a flower or something, I think because the Ixora flower has a similar vibe. I actually like the spelling of the name and the way it looks written down on paper, very industrious-looking and steampunk-like, being eccentric and homespun like Philomena and Eugenia while also having the regal dramatic presence of Isadora, Theodosia. Not sure how usable this would be in real life, but this would certainly make a fun book/movie character-- I think I've seen this name before on an intrepid adventurer heroine in a middle grade book.
