Re: Middle name question about appropriation
Personally, I would not use them. There are many names in different cultures that I love, but I consider both the importance of the name (e.g., spiritual like Cohen) or if it belongs to a group that still faces discrimination in my country* (the US, like Asian Americans). A name might be seen as quirky or unique when on a white child while the names on those minorities are made fun of or people don't try to pronounce them. *I don't know much about British culture, but a quick google search is showing me that there is certainly racism towards Asians over there.
