HelpRe: Winona
in reply to a message by Tuesday
It's usable IMO. Of course people say "I just think of Ryder" - it's because they have not been exposed to the name anywhere else. If they actually met another Winona in person, Ryder would cease to seem important at all, as they've never even met her!
Other fairly "unique" celeb names that I wouldn't think were inseparable from the celebrity, if people actually used them: Charlize, Keanu, Denzel, Marlon ... they're all on my favorites, and not because I like the actors. I don't know why Winona didn't become a thing the way Ryder has - it mystifies me because Winona is a beautiful name and Ryder is just awful IMO. I would have thought that the rental truck company would be enough to kill any appeal Ryder had. If yellow truck rentals can't ruin a name, surely a middle aged actress with a slightly degenerate image can't (haha, I just noticed she is about six weeks younger than I am. I thought she was older).
