HelpOh, I considered incorporating Jovi into a kid's name...
in reply to a message by Ozma
....during high school...for, like, a nanosecond.
Actually, that sounds more sarcastic than I meant it. I agree that Carla would have been a much nicer option, or using Santana as a middle name.
The musician aside, Santana has always been the name of a street to me.

Carla would NOT have honored Santana.

Publicly or at all?

That's kind of what I was thinking.
Carla is a lovely name, and certainly more usable, but the parents wanted people to know they honored Carlos Santana. If they named their daughter Carla, people wouldn't think twice.

Okay, I get that.
I wasn't thinking of it from a public recognition viewpoint, just a personal one of knowing themselves why they chose the name.
If I name a son after my father or a literary character or a president, it won't matter a bit to me whether the general public understands the meaning behind the selection, the whole point of it is personal, for me...so that's where my head was.
You make a valid point. :)
