Help[Opinions] Re: Juanita
in reply to a message by Laslow
I associate it strongly with the mummified little girl named Juanita. She was an Inca girl and sacrificed as an offering to the gods. They found her well preserved body in the 1990s. I've never met anyone else with this name which is probably why the association is so strong.
It also seems like just a nickname to me. Names that end in -ita are usually (always?) nicknames in spanish speaking countries. The full name for this would be Juana. I know that it was quite common for a couple of years in the US, I am wondering whether it was used by the spanish speaking population or by people who didn't know it was a nickname. It also seems a bit dated and will most likely get mispronounced a lot. I don't like it very much but it's okay for someone else.
