Re: Names that would harm a child are inappropriate (m - language warning)
I think these names are in a different league than previous mentioned names. These are simply obviously stupid names that offend every person generally. Just because a name like Cherokee or Gypsy or Negro doesn't offend everyone doesn't mean they aren't offensive and shouldn't be used as names.
I think they are just as bad of names as Dipshit or Fucker.

I'm not going to justify my opinions to you when you're obviously looking for an argument.I, personally, do not think Cohen, Gypsy, or Cherokee are inappropriate or offensive. Ignorant - yes - but not offensive. I stick by what I said.

No, I am not trying for an argument, even if it seems so. I simply don't understand how some people can find one name offensive but another which is obviously a very "red hot" name so to speak, not offensive. It confuses me. Sorry if I sound like I am trying to pick a fight. It was not intentional.
