Yeah, kinda. But I see lots of people say stuff like "My family is Italian/Irish/Greek/etc. so we want an Italian/Irish/Greek/etc. name for our baby." Of course these names aren't usually too authentic or uncommon in the respective origins because they'd also need to work well-fairly well in an English speaking place. And then of course you also get the sorts who are like "Oh, my grandma is Irish so we want to name our daughter something Irish. We're calling her Makynzie." *facepalm*

Anyway, point being I think people still try to embrace where they're from, even if it's where they're from and not where their ancestors are from. And on many more ways than just the names they choose for their children.
