Re: Saxon
in reply to a message by Martha
It strikes me as a little silly rather than iffy. It would be like having the first name Roman or Scott or French or Spaniard or Nord. It might work better on a pet. I have met someone with a form of Saxon as their last name, so I can see it being used to honor the child's mother's maiden name. It isn't awful since I've met people named Scott, but it seems random to be named after a people group.
Adding: Frank technically could be used to refer to a people group, but more likely it is used to refer to Franklin.
A white person using the name of people group that they were in no way a part of like Kenyan or Nigerian would strike me as far more iffy than Saxon.
