I've watched the Lion King and it didn't cross my mind that a character on there is named Nala. I hear it's also a popular name for dogs, but I've never came across a dog with this name. I think Nala is perfectly fine to use.
Nala is a simple and appealing name. I also love The Lion King character.

I don't think that the The Lion King association is a bad one at all! It makes me like the name even more.

I love the name Nala and I plan on using it for my unborn child if it's a girl. I don't think of the "Lion King" when I hear this name, I think of a strong independent woman.
The only time I ever heard of this name was from Simba's friend Nala from Lion King. When I hear or see it; I associate it with the lion cub. I wouldn't say it's pretty, it's interesting and unique. Though I couldn't name a kid this. Nothing against it; again I associate it with a lion.
