[Opinions] Re: Moana
in reply to a message by Lazward
I'm Italian, and the association for me is mainly this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moana_Pozzi As porn stars go, she had a sweet, smart images, but still... plus she died at 33.
Even without this association, it sounds too much like "moan".

I read on IMDB that the Disney character Moana was renamed Vaiana for the Italian dub because of the Moana Pozzi association (and the movie is going to be called Oceania). Spain also renamed her Vaiana, but that was because apparently Moana is a registered trademark in Spain.
I've actually never heard of Moana Pozzi until you mentioned her. Most people in Brazil, at least in my generation, probably wouldn't recognize her.
