Favorite names from different origins?

E.g. Korean, French, Greek.

What are yours?

Naming a child Korean is weird. It didn’t work when Mariah Carey named her baby Moroccan, and it’s going to be even worse when you do it. French and Greek are just as bad. Sorry.

I think OP meant names from cultures other than your own and is not planning on naming their child Greek Smith.

I'm Irish American, but I've always loved Latin names. Lucia, Alejandro, Celia, Sebastian. (I realize these work well with American versions, too.)

I don't like Japanese or Indian names. They all sound too alike to my sad untrained ears.

Greek names to me are 50/50. They can be amazing or awful.

I like Vietnamese names. Some of them are pretty amazing and unique.

Examples of Greek and Vietnamese names you like?

I love Japanese names. My favorites are Aiko and Mariko but there are many, many beautiful names in Japanese. I also love a lot of Korean names, though admittedly my favorite is Hana, in part because it's in so many languages and cultures. But it sounds beautiful with a Korean accent.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read on DCUM and that's saying something.

I love French names! I couldn’t bring myself to actually use one, but they are so pretty.

Racist, much?

PP was clearly being sarcastic and nobody got the joke.
