Re: Can you use "Erin" for an Arab American girl?
Sure, you can use it. I know Japanese and Chinese Americans named Erin, Shannon, and Caitlin. Just be prepared for people asking why, especially if the character has siblings and family members who all have Arab names. Also, take into consideration how recently the family has been in America. Is it a really traditional, fresh off the boat type of family? If so, the chances that they'd give their daughter a non-traditional name is slim.
