The life reflection and soul searching of some one who didn't get everything she wanted out of life is definitely there though.

Gypsy is a now somewhat controversial term for the Romani people. They're an oppressed ethnic group that has been subjected to genocide, they're not a fashionable example of the nomadic boho life. When Stevie wrote the song it was different but these days people are much more offended by it and try to be more sensitive about the usage of terms like that so that's why I'd agree it's not a good idea to name the show Gypsy.
