HelpReminds me of the Electra complex- REALLY not a good association, if you know what it is.

But...
If we let all name associations bother us, then there wouldn't be any names left that people would deem suitable. People still like the name Rex, and don't mention Oedipus Rex (the Oedipus Complex...Freudian). I think the people of "today" will think of Elektra movie more, rather than the Electra Complex, which Freud, again, "founded" (so, it all depends if you choose to believe him, really). But, as I said, I don't let associations bother *me*.
