[Opinions] Using a name from another culture as an American
Just wondering peoples general thoughts on this. Do you think it’s weird or distasteful for a monolingual, Anglo American to you use a name from a culture they have little connection to (maybe they have ancestry from the country in question but it’s distant, maybe they have none at all). Does it depend on what language/culture the name is from or how similar it is to common American names?http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/87410
