HelpChe
I was surprised when I saw this name listed here. I thought it was just Ernesto Guevara's nickname, but apparently there are some guys out there called Che. What do you think of it? Is it nice, strange or kinda silly? In your opinion, is Che Guevara a good or bad association?

I know. I hate all those products with Che Guevara's face on them and I wouldn't ever buy them. (I do own a biography of Che Guevara, though). They're selling him out, and turning him into a kind of Capitalist novelty. It's just exploiting his legacy, and I think anyone who wears those T-shirts has no idea of who Che Guevara was, and what he spent his whole life fighting. He would have hated those things so much.

I think that your opinion on a good or bad association has to do with what you think of the revolution. It doesn't feel like a real fn to me.

I really, really love this name. Too bad about Guevera (as that association is as bad as, say, Adolf Hitler to me. The man was a murderer just the same.)
I'm down for nns as full names, though that is a very unpopular view on this board (in fact I think it's me vs. everyone on that, lol).
I just love the simplicity, and the sound of it. I like the way it looks, so round and neat.

Che Guevara is a terrible association, who would want to share a name/ nickname with a prison executioner.

It's weird as a name. For me Che Guevara isn't a bad association, but to use it as a name suggests you're a rabid admirer of his. Ernesto would make more sense in this case, it's more neutral.
Besides, Che isn't really a name, it's a nickname, which comes from a slang Latin American word as well as a term generally used by Latin Americans to refer informally to Argentinians.
