Good GOD, no. Especially if he's not Japanese. I can't believe they would do that.
It leads me to believe that the parents are weeaboos (especially annoying Japanophiles). That might be wrong, but it's the message the name indicates.

Hmm curious why can't a non-Japanese use a Japanese name? Isn't that like any other name being used by someone who isn't (ex: Irish when your not Irish, Portuguese when your not Portuguese, French when your not french?).
just wondering because I'd use Japanese names (I'm Portuguese) but only if I know how to say them correctly LOL.

Most people just think it's very strange. European names tend to not be far off from English names, but Asian and African names, for example, are completely different.
In all honesty though, I wouldn't be as bothered if it wasn't a Japanese name specifically. I'm just sick and tired of all the weeaboos who give their kids Japanese names because they want to be Japanese. Maybe the kid doesn't?
