My first thought is the terrorist group, so I wouldn't go there.

(Although it isn't spelled the same)

Lovely name!

Agree that it’s harsh and sounds like a non-name.

While it is linked with Basque separatists I don't think most people would jump to that. I love Etta James and I love the name.

How is it pronounced? eee-ta or like the E in emma. If it's the first one then it's a no for me. It reminds me of the Greek word 'ήττα' which means 'defeat'.

I would use it as a nn:
Juliet
Harriet
Henrietta
Aletta
Odette

I like it but I feel like it needs to be short for something. Juliette, Henrietta etc
