You asked for opinions and you got them 🤷♀️
ok
Sorry but I agree with Mirfak. I have Cornish ancestry going back to at least 1622 but my husband D has no Cornish ancestry at all. Does that mean we shouldn’t pick a Cornish name because any child of ours would only have Cornish ancestry from 1 parent. As it stands we have decided on a Cornish name for a hypothetical girl. I love the name that we decided on and the meaning of the name means something to both of us.
Right? As an American myself I can only fathom how complicated this would be if American couples with unending combinations of ethnicities used the same thought process 😅🤣🤣🤣 no one would have a name in the end, lol
mmmmm ok
