Re: Cultural appropriation
I agree. As long as the name is not completely associated with a religion or culture I think it’s fine. I don’t think it’s wrong for a non Hispanic to name a child Carmen or Santiago or a non- Chinese to use Mei. On the other hand I don’t think a non-Muslim should use Mohammed or Khadijah or a non-Christian to use Jesus.

I don't even think of Carmen as Hispanic.
