I think that is ridiculous. I can't believe you said that. I'm so embarrassed for you.
I once read on this site that the name Isaac "sounded too black". I've only known two people in my life named Isaac, one was Mexican and the other is white, and yet this name is "too black"? Although some names are almost exclusively used only in certain cultures (like Alejandro, Alexei, Mohammed, etc) I don't think it's necessary to avoid a name because someone thinks it sounds "ethnic", people should use what they like and we should just be happy that she used real names. And thank goodness she didn't name him Jayden, Aiden, Hayden, Caiden or any of the other over used Aden names.
The world is becoming a smaller place and cultures are being influenced by other cultures, the whole world is a melting pot. It's nice to see that people are being more open minded. You should try to start getting used to that.
A few weeks ago people suggested that I use the name Araceli, which happens to be primarily Latino, I like it a lot. But, oh no! I'm white! It must be "too ethnic" for me to use! While we're at it we should make sure that white Americans stop naming their children Isabella seeing as it's Italian. Is it ok for an American to use a name like Connor? It is Irish after all. Just remember, all names come from somewhere, from some culture, very very few names are from America.
Do you see the ignorance in what you said? I hope so.
