HelpRe: What actions are considered “making arbitrary judgments names without considering cultural context”?
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
All opinions on names are subjective, and an arbitrary judgment would be one that's random or inconsistent.
An example of that quote, as I would interpret it, would be like...if I said I hate trendy pop culture names, but then I only applied that to names popular in my own country - maybe I say I like Ludivine and lack awareness that it was popular in France because of a miniseries. I would not say you are doing that, unless maybe you dislike common names from the 1980s-2000s in your own culture.
It's useful to at least be aware of cultural context, but it wouldn't necessarily matter if you were making arbitrary judgments. It's normal to perceive things differently cross culturally.
