Ok here comes opinion from somebody whose name bring occasional problems.. I'm coming from Latvia and my name is Lolita. It is old Latvian name and been used for very long time, but you see guy named Nabukov wrote a lovely book about girl named Lolita and now half of all porno industry is using it. So when it comes to finding a new job it's a little bit complicated... Several times I've received phone calls with somebody panting in other side and imagining things while talking to actual Lolita.. And then other stuff like "what your parents where thinking when they gave you this name?" I absolutely love my name but there has been "more than once" I've considered changing it, because of all this nonsense.. So when you name your baby think about his/hers future, baby naming trends are changing very often but your child will live with it for rest of his/hers life.
Yeah I know the book, read it, and I still think Lolita is a pretty name. I also like the book. I can see how people would have some ideas attached to it though because of the book. But it is a traditional Latvian name... Do people give you a hard time in the US or US and Latvia?
How do you pronounce the middle name? I feel like middle names aren't that big of a deal.. especially since they don't really get used that often. I'm going to be honest, I don't like Vega... but I also don't think it's something crazy and off the wall like Dinosaur Cowboy either (yes, a friend of a friend actually named their son that.) I would say, go for it! & I like that there is so much meaning behind the middle name.
Yes, thanks for asking. Sforza is pronounced phonetically Safortza. The Ludovico Sforza was the Duke of Milan and the patron for Leonardo Da Vinci. They were a very powerful family in Italy. I just visited the castle in Milan last month. It was really cool. Yeah, Vega was a name that came up between my husband and I when we first started dating. It has it's own meaning for us. It does have a more unisex feel perhaps. But it also means mountain in spanish. I wanted to counteract my husband's name which basicially means leper. Yikes, can't change that!!!

I've traveled all over Europe only part where it's ok to have this name Eastern part and probably Spain, Western Europe is the worst. Africa also "don't mind" haha haven't been to US yet. I'm living in Norway and I get to hear comments pretty often. I don't mind it that much, but job search is the worst..
My husband actually had this happen for the first time at work last week! He had a random coworker ask him the name so he told her and she said, "huh...I don't really like that." I honestly just couldn't stop laughing about it and I've been telling people the story. It also probably helps that our family and friends love the name we chose.
