HelpRe: Question about names and cultures
in reply to a message by RegalAmethyst
This might not be in direct answer to your question, but I dislike seeing a surname from one minority culture with a first name from a different minority culture (unless the bearer is of dual heritage) - it just seems weird to me.
for example, Gwen Stefano!

That can seem weird in some cases. To be honest, even in my own family that seems weird to me. We have a very Swiss German last name-I don't think you could find one more so. And yet everyone in my family is Keith, Adam, Hilary, Jennifer. Stylistically the contrast is almost enough to hurt my eyes.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! btw it's amazing how 100 years ago Jennifer was all but forgotten outside Cornwall and now it's a megastar!

I know! The popularity of Jennifer blows my mind. It's very interesting and yet in a way kind of sad. It's a very pretty name. I think it would be wonderful to use if it weren't so popular. I feel the same way about Jessica. So classy, so common.
