I read on IMDB that the Disney character
Moana was renamed Vaiana for the Italian dub because of the
Moana Pozzi association (and the movie is going to be called Oceania). Spain also renamed her Vaiana, but that was because apparently
Moana is a registered trademark in Spain.
I've actually never heard of
Moana Pozzi until you mentioned her. Most people in Brazil, at least in my generation, probably wouldn't recognize her.
