Comments for the name Santa

Santa Claus is the first Santa I thought of.

So many plays on words. Santa as in "Santa Maria!" or Santa as in ho, ho ho?
There are just too many jokes that could derive from this name. It's a shame really, it's actually a very pretty name.

"Santa Claus is coming to town."

Santa WOULD be a nice name. But good old Saint Nick ruined it. (No offense, Santa.)

While this is a lovely name I'm kind of put off it by the fact that Santa is an anagram of Satan. Shame really.

Having this name in America would be hell. Having this name in Spanish-speaking countries or any countries where this means 'holy' would be hell. Even in Finland, this is an old word for 'sand', and would thus be hell to have. Whereever people know the word 'Santa' to have the meaning 'holy', this is going to be hell to have. So why use the ridiculous name?

This is just pointless, since I always think of Santa Claus.

The jolly fat guy that gives you presents when you are good on Christmas is the only thing that comes to mind whenever I hear this name.

Three words: Ho ho ho.

I wonder what it would be like for a girl with this name around Christmas time! I'd bet people will expect lots of presents from her, that's for sure!

Santa does actually work as a name in some places.

Pairs up nicely with a lot of names, such as "Santa Maria", "Santa Jane", "Santa Louise", "Santa Anita"... When pronounced right, as it should be "Sahn-tah", it sort of draws attention away from the familiar "Santa Claus" character.
