[quote=Anonymous]I’m in my 40s and grew up with a very white American girl with zero family connection to Asian ethnicity whose name was Mariko. It was odd then, but everyone chalked it up to her hippy parents. Had someone done that today, it might be considered cultural appropriation or at the very least seem odd. I think mainstream names already in heavy use in the USA are fair game—including all the Irish names that just American now. I know someone with a distant Latino connection (think: 2 generation American who only speaks basic Spanish with an American accent) who named her kid Joaquin. That prompted eyerolls among her peer group. [/quote]
