I stumbled upon an article on Nancy's Baby Names regarding the name Renata's sudden popularity in the US in the very late 70s. Turns out the reason behind this boost was due to the character Renata Sutton on the American soap opera
Search for Tomorrow, portrayed by French actress and dancer Sonia Petrovna.
I looked the actress up and she is most famous for co-starring in the 1972 Italian film
Indian Summer (with Alain Delon) as Vanina, a quiet and mysterious girl.
The character's coldness and taciturnity stood out to me - she has an autumnal, European Hollywood vibe with an intense gaze as well.
So, what would you rename Vanina?
My options:
Anthea, Cecily, Dagmar, Lynette, Ninon, Salome, Seraphina, Tatjana, Vianne, Zuleika.
