I also had a coworker named America and I’m pretty sure her parents were immigrants - English was pretty clearly not my coworker’s first language. I think it works for her situation. (Funny enough, it was her reckless behavior that caused me to spend my last few weeks at that job on light duty…)
There’s also America Ferrera, I don’t think the name is that weird.
Many people are named after places. This one doesn’t feel weird to me atleast

Yup, I’ve known a Kenya, a Lesotho, and a Latierra (the Earth in Spanish).
If I had to bully her I’d call her Latrine
“You changed your name to Latrine?”
Most places are named after people too
But which America is it? North or south?
They compromised and it’s central.
I understand naming a kid after a city or region/state but a country seems a little far.
India is a name I’ve seen often.
