Is it strange to use
German names when you arent
German (or Italian, or French, or *insert favorite ethnic group of names here*).
Seriously, I really dont think it matters too much. I understand the concern, because I love Hawaiian names (and have never even been to Hawaii much like have any background). But my main concern wasnt Hawaiian names on a European hertiage girl. It was the pn and spelling issues that may be faced in
America, or the sound/flow with the surname of the child.
Does that make sense?
