My Fiancee wants to name our daughter Senua after a video game what do you guys think?

Question

My fiance is dead set on this name and I can't convince myself to like it yet it hasn't grown on me so I need some help.

Answer

Maybe use it as inspiration? There are other girl names that are similar which sound a lot nicer: Senna, Sennia, Senaida

Answer

Senua (mistaked spelling, now found to be actually spelled Senuna) is a celtic goddess. If the reason you don't like it is that if she ask where her named is from is due to a video game, you could say you named her after the goddess. 
Otherwise similar names: Sena, Senora, Synneva, Seva

Answer

It's not a horrible name per se but imagine the conversation... Daughter: "mom,  dad, everyone says I have such an unusual name and asks me where it comes from... where did you get my name from?"  You guys: "you're named after a video game character, honey".  Teacher says to daughter wow what an unusual name, daughter "yeah my parents named me after a video game"
I personally wouldn't be comfortable with it.

Answer

Poor kid

Answer

It makes me think of sensual and sinew and  overall gives me too sexy of a vibe to chose for a child. People already sexualize girls way too young so personally I'd avoid using names that make it easier. 
Maybe I'd compromise and use it for a middle name. Or look up character names from all his favorite video games and see if there happen to be any names you like.

Answer

How well known is the video game? If people will recognize it immediately as from a game I say no. But I don’t hate it over all.

Answer

Middle name maybe?

Answer

Is there a meaning to it? I know one characters name off a video game means to break apart/destruct... for me meanings are important but it's up to you and if you care about meanings or not

Answer

How is it pronounced?
