Unless the name is already widely in use by a variety of cultures (because every name originated somewhere), I think it would be better NOT to use the name. Europeans, and white people in general, throughout history have pretty much felt entitled to take whatever they/we wanted. Now we want to usurp another culture's names too. I don't know if I'd say it's straight up wrong. But it feels just disrespectful enough to me that it would make me uncomfortable. And the parents could be setting their own child up for problems. I'd find another name. There are a lot of great names out there. I'd rather err on the side of caution.
