[quote=Anonymous]It does seem there are many names that are cross-cultural, but that's also because people made that the case - so if you have the courage, and can hope your child will also have the courage to rock a different ethnic/cultural name, you'll be part of the progress that contributes to more shared names across cultures. I like this idea but in practice it's more challenging. We were hoping to create a new name based half on each of our heritage (Ethiopian/generic white) but that hasn't proven easy either. We keep finding nice Arab names but that feels weird because we want the child to have more of a connection to its name than 'we liked it'. Most mixed couples we know choose each of both culture's names for the first and middle names (e.g. Sara Saanvi)[/quote]
