[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Naming a child after a favorite poet constitutes a personal connection. It's fine.[/quote] Must there be a personal connection? Why can't they just simply like the name? [/quote] Right. No one bats an eye when a couple names their kid Mary or Grace, even if the couple is neither white nor Christian (which these names imply). Why is that ok but naming your white, black, or Asian kid Khalil is not? I might think it's a little odd or silly but I think it's really reaching for anyone to be offended in any way. I am Jewish and I don't get offended at the recent trend of non-Jews naming their kids Asher and Levi. I wonder at it, but only for about 5 seconds.[/quote]
