I’ll be honest, I’m 17 and I really have no idea who [name_f]Liza[/name_f] Minnelli is (besides that she’s famous and [name_f]Judy[/name_f] [name_f]Garland[/name_f]'s daughter). But apparently the name [name_f]Liza[/name_f] (which I’m starting to really like) is still strongly associated with her. Is it and if so is that a bad thing? What do you think of the name in general? If you saw [name_f]Liza[/name_f] would you assume it’s pronounced lee-zuh or lie-zuh?
I’d pronounce it lie-zuh, and I don’t think the association to [name_f]Liza[/name_f] Minnelli is that strong. It exists, but not overwhelmingly.
She is probably the most well known [name_f]Liza[/name_f] out there. She is/was a very talented performer but is kind of the butt-of-the-joke these days as so many ageing stars are (think Hasselhoff, Schwarzennegger, [name_m]Chevy[/name_m] [name_u]Chase[/name_u]). Older people might find they strongly associate the name [name_f]Liza[/name_f] with Ms Minelli, but it certainly isn’t like naming your kid [name_f]Cher[/name_f] or [name_f]Madonna[/name_f] or something. Anyway she is like 67 now so I think lots of young people don’t know who she is or just have a vague idea. It certainly wouldn’t be too much of an association in another decade or so.
