[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm a black woman who responded to that post with "Gorgeous name!!!" and have no problem whatsoever with any male child being given this name. Isn't this a case though, where only those from the originating culture (Arab/Muslim) have anything meaningful to say? I mean, what does it matter that it doesn't bother me? [/quote] I'm Italian, and almost every year, I've taught African American boys who were named Mario, Marco, Antonio and Lorenzo. TBH, I never really thought much about it. [/quote] Or the Jamals, Maliks, Aaliyahs, and others appropriating from Arab culture, the Aarons, Johns, Josephs, and others appropriating from Hebrew culture, the Roberts appropriating from Germanic culture.... Where o where does it end?[/quote]
