[Opinions] Re: White People Using Sanskrit Names
I am white as a ghost and there is one Sanskrit name I would consider using and that's Lalita, and I would feel ok (yet cautious) using it because it's meaningful to me in multiple ways, it's... important to me on a personal level and I respect the culture and countries and religions it came from immensely. Sanskrit itself is very important to me, it is a holy language. But I would feel cautious, I would probably consult with friends and teachers before giving it.And I wouldn't/don't judge others for giving Sanskrit names to their children. Err, I would attempt not to, 'cause I would feel like a bit of an ass if I did. lol.ॐ मणिपद्मे हूं
