HelpHow do you know they're using Cohen because of The OC?
in reply to a message by bananarama
There may be a few pop-culture obsessed people who did name their child after whoever the heck Cohen from The OC is, but probably more people use it to honor their heritage or a specific individual. Plus, as Hufflepuffer mentioned, innapropriate names are names that hurt a child or an individual. Naming somebody Knife, Aryan, Stalin or Hitler would fall under this category. Cohen does not seem that offensive compared to those names.

Suddenly all of these people are randomly finding a Cohen in their family tree that they want to honor? Something in me doubts it. A lot.
Also the nature of Cohen as a kind of special surname in Jewish culture makes it hard for me to believe there would be people using it as a given name.

Holy crap! How did it get so popular?
I'm totally fine with it being used for honoring purposes. There is nothing wrong with that at all. But I do agree that maning your kid after a character on a drama/fake reality show is way too much. Urgh.
