I didn't mean to imply anyone was closed-minded. I thought about the wording after the fact. :-(
I'm just not sure, in general, how popular foreign names are. Especially the extremely difficult-to-pronounce African ones. I'm even more uncertain as to how a caucasian would feel naming their child such a name.
I don't find that at all discriminatory. It's very understandable- it would be awkward for the child, if the name were so extreme.
That is why I am searching for African names that aren't spelled too strangely and are simply to pronounce. So far, those names are NOT Amharic.
:-D
