HelpRe: Using a name from another culture as an American
in reply to a message by Olwen
No. I have no problem with people using names from another language or culture. I happen to love the name Aleksander (this spelling) and would definitely consider using it even though I’m not Russian/Polish.
The only time I think names should be left to people of a particular culture are religious names. You might not want to use Khadijah or Mohammed if you’re not Muslim or Krishna if you’re not Hindu.
