HelpRe: Using a name from another culture as an American
in reply to a message by Ceri
Not American, but I have a lot of Islamic friends and I've asked them once if they'd have a trouble if I gave my daughter an Arabic like Khadija, Latifa or Safiyya and they have no problem with it.
I often think that "we, Western people" make more fuss about it than anyone else. It's not up to us if it's offensive. Ask those around you from a particular culture and you'll see that most don't have a problem with. I think offensive names are more along the lines of Himmler etc.
