HelpRe: Donna
in reply to a message by erb816
It is perfectly fine to use this name.
Donna Elvira
&
Donna Anna
Donna in each case is used as a precursory title of gentry for "Lady" - as Princess Diana bore the title "Lady Diana" prior to obtaining her royal title. I learned these Characters from Mozart's Don Giovanni. "Don" is also the title of gentry for men.

In the case of title, Donna and Don are pronounced a bit differently than the English names Donna and Don (from Donald).
Donna, as a romantic title, is pronounced do-nah instead of da-nah. Quite similar to the names Donato or Donatella.
The use of the title is outdated right now, unless you just mean a woman (Italian), but a valid connection.
