Re: Is it wrong to give your baby a tribal name if you're not from that tribe?
Sorry but I agree with Mirfak. I have Cornish ancestry going back to at least 1622 but my husband D has no Cornish ancestry at all. Does that mean we shouldn’t pick a Cornish name because any child of ours would only have Cornish ancestry from 1 parent. As it stands we have decided on a Cornish name for a hypothetical girl. I love the name that we decided on and the meaning of the name means something to both of us.Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from

Right? As an American myself I can only fathom how complicated this would be if American couples with unending combinations of ethnicities used the same thought process 😅🤣🤣🤣 no one would have a name in the end, lol
mmmmm ok
