[quote=Anonymous]What about an American Indian name? Say, if I named my son Geronimo or Pochahantas or Tisquantum? Ok, now what if I got a bulldog and named him Sitting Bull? Once -- true story -- I met a black pug who went by Marty, and whose actual name was Martin Luther King. I'm just trying to understand where the line is here, I honestly don't have an answer or an agenda. I do sense, though, that an Asian atheist naming her daughter "Grace" is going to be received differently than a white woman naming her son Geronimo. [/quote]
