Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Evita?
in reply to a message by Wish Fish
It would be perfectly fine to use, but I think the association with the musical/movie is still really strong in most people's minds, so an Evita would get a lot of "don't cry for me Argentina" jokes. People might assume an Evita's parents are musical theatre geeks.
Evita could be used as a full name, but technically it is a nickname or affectionate diminutive of Eva. So it would work for Evangeline too.
It would be fine for a character too, but because Evita is so strongly tied to one person who already is a famous "character" in theatre and movies, if you use it you'd have to be aware of that connection. It would be like naming a character Elvis, Beyonce, Keanu, or Kermit, it's not just like any other name. It might be distracting or seen as some kind of joke.
