My sister was friends with a Havana when they were about four. This was before I knew about the place, the song, or the cigar, and I thought it was a pretty name at the time. I still think it sounds pretty but I wouldn't use it because of those associations. It reminds me of Hosanna. The Havana I knew had a sister named Calypso... so I guess the parents were going for a Caribbean theme?

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
