[Opinions] Re: Koen vs. Cohen
in reply to a message by countrygirl12
As a Dutch name that has nothing to with Cohen, I guess it's fine for Dutch people to use Koen but I don't think it's a very attractive name in other languages.
As Cohen goes, I personally don't find offensive. It's a Jewish surname, that's all, I don't think all the people whose surname is Cohen are necessarily very conscious of their priestly status. But as a given name, I find it ridiculous, you might as well name a child Greenblatt or Goldnagel.
