HelpRe: Inanna
in reply to a message by HailCthulhu
I would think it sounded a bit counterculture-ish, in one way or another. It's the pre-Judeo-Christian-religion thing. Probably worth investigating how mainstream religions see the name, before using it.
I like it. I think it would be usable in everyday life, because of that familiar -anna, just like Adrianna or Johanna. Most people won't recognize it, I think, they'll just think it's foreign or invented. Probably requires pronunciation correction often (ee-NAH-na rather than in-Anna). I do think it'd be kind of a statement though, like naming a baby Isis (prior to the association with terrorism). I'm not sure whether I think it'd be hard to carry ... probably not terribly, but harder than something like Magdalene or Athena.
