I was thinking about Etna yesterday, weird. The volcano connection did not occur to me. I'd just assume it was used because it looks like a cross of Edna and Etta. More distantly, I associate Etzel and Gretna. But no, I don't think it'd be that bizarre to name someone after a volcano; it seems more average to me than Ridge or Odin, anyway, and people use Ocean and Blaze despite the destructive potential of oceans and blazes. Volcanoes are mountains, mountains are pretty, and apparently, Etna in particular has a lot of meaning in mythology.

I agree with you. I like Edna, but Etna's more brisk. Although I don't like either enough that I'd use them, they'd be pleasant to see.

My favorites of the combos are Etna Beatrice, Etna Marguerite, Etna Irene, and Etna Clarice.
