Need opinions!

DH and I are struggling. We both love the name Enya. (We both have Irish lineage and a clearly Irish last name.) But we're afraid people will only associate it with the singer. We're thinking Enya Rose or Enya Grace. I would appreciate feedback. :)

    I mean yes most peoples only association would be the singer but it's not a bad thing really and it wouldn't stop me.

    We used Giada.  Anyone that is not really Italian or names interested in general associates with Giada De Laurentis but it wasn't a stopping point for us and I do not regret using it


  • I didn't make the connection at all and I'm sure kids her age won't either

  • The next generation may never hear of Enya - I haven't seen a 'Pure Moods' infomercial in 15 years! :) 
  • My first thought was the singer but I doubt she will be well known to the next generation

  • I think she'll hear plenty of comments about the singer, but only from the older generations, not her peers.
