    Женобиа? Somehow it strikes me like "wife-that-beats".

    It's from Zenobia, an ancient queen of Palmyra! She defeated the Roman army and conquered Egypt for a short time. Eventually Emperor Aurelian burned Palmyra to the ground and dragged her in golden chains behind his chariot through the streets of Rome in triumph. Amazing story!

    It's "Зеновия" or "Зенобия" in Russian. "Женобиа" sounds very unnatural. At least -иа ending is totally wrong.
    Please, correct my mistakes, except for the cases I misspell something on purpose!

    Besides, Zenobia was already taken!
