HelpRe: Honest Question About Cultural Appropriation and Names
in reply to a message by Perrine
What would you do if one person told you it was horrible cultural appropriation and 35 told you that it is perfectly fine?
I still wouldn't use it.
I have no Native American heritage, so I wouldn't feel like it was MY name to use. And just because a lot of people say it's okay to do something, that doesn't necessarily make it okay, in my mind.
Of course everybody is free to do what they want, but this is how *I* feel.
**Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam/Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine, and a side order of ham**

That's fine and I respect that but I personally would make a different decision especially with the name being in the top 100 in a European country in two spelling variants. Someone will always disagree with something you do and use even if most people are fine with it.
