Help[Opinions] Chenoa
What do you guys think of the name Chenoa? It's pronounced sha-no-uh in case you didn't know. I knew a girl in high school with this name and thought it was beautiful. Until I got to know her and she totally ruined it.
Since it's been a few years since high school, I wanted to use it in a story to try to get over the connection I have with the girl. What impressions do you get from the name? It's a Native American name meaning Bird of Peace--at least that's what she said, and what one of the entries on this site say.
If you don't like it, why?
If you do, what kind of person is Chenoa to you? What does she (or possibly he?) look like? How does she/he act?
I was just curious. :)

I knew a Chenoa, and she was very nice. I picture a nice person when I hear this name.

I know a Chenoa. She is short but she is really white. No black or native american in her at all. Her parents just thought it was pretty. I could never have a negetive association with Chenoa. She is the nicest, funniest, most loving person ever.

It sounds like just another name a black american would use for their daughter trying to be unique. Chenoa, Shaniqua, Shenandoah, Precious, well, it fits right in there. And I'm not even American, but Chenoa screams "Hey, I'm black!" to me. Nothing wrong with being black though, I just don't like names that screams white/yellow/black/purple/whatever.
I don't have any picture in my head how a Chenoa would be. Maybe a little shorter than "normal"? A happy person? I dunno.
Sounds like a good idea to use it in a story to get over the connection though. :)
