While I agree with almost everything you said, I doubt many white parents choose the name
India because its "exotic." My first associations are
India from Gone with the Wind and of course the beautiful country and probably people want to honor their favorite place or where they met, etc. Yes, there are is a lot of baggage with the name and I think as a general rule that everyone should stay away from it, but I don't know if its solely chosen because its "exotic."
"Okay, what are your ideas?
Taylor? Uh-huh.
Fletcher?
Cooper?
Tanner? Where are you getting these? The Big Book Of Medieval Professions?"
