[Opinions] Re: Elvira
in reply to a message by HailCthulhu
It's kind of a bad association for a baby name, but not really in general.
Also, depends how you pronounce it. el-VEER-a wouldn't evoke the character.
I kinda like Elvira as a baby name.
Now I have an earworm ... I heard this a zillion times in my youth, alas:
"My heart's on fie-a / for Elvira
Giddy uppa oom poppa oom poppa mau mau!"

Ugh, our grade three teacher had a few dances she made the class learn. One was to that godawful song. I heard it so many times. I like some country music (especially the old classics) but that was twangy garbage. I’m not sure if I would have liked the name Elvira otherwise, but that song ruined it for sure.
