What do you think of the letters Q and X used in baby names?

Over on TV Tropes someone pointed out how those letters aren't pronounced the same consistantly and that can be confusing for people since there is, effectively, no pronounciation guide. Xion and Roxas are good examples of what I mean. So do you think it helps to change the name to something closer to the actual pronounciation in English, like Shion or Rocksas, or do you think it makes it lose something?

Personally I love Xion as a name, but I think the X would result in constant confusion. On the other hand I can't imgaine spelling Chinese names without X and Q; that's just my opinion, though.

Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

 Our second daughter was just born on Christmas Day. Her name is Elspeth Dove (big sister is Ezra Grace). My question is about nicknames. Ezra usually goes by Ezzie; we haven't totally settled on a nn for the little one, though.

So far we've been calling her Ellie, Elsie, and Edie (since her first and middle initials are E.D.) What do you all think? Any other suggestions?
