[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a good time to mention that naming your kid Isabella/Gianna/Luca/any foreign name when you are not from that culture is cringey?[/quote]

What are the American names?   [/quote]

I have an older Noah early on when the name was exploding and when he was 1 I had an older lady admonish me for picking it because it's a Jewish name  :lol: [/quote]

Most names originate from the oldest places on Earth and that does not include America.  Most of our names originate from Greek, Hebrew, Latin, the Bible, Arabic.

The trend in the US started in the early 1990s where parents started using Isabella instead the formerly common Isabel.   [/quote]

Biblical names were very common in New England going back to the colonies.

i.e. Noah Webster

It's just more palatable to modern tastes than Jedidiah.

Yes.  I can’t believe someone went up to a mother and tried to claim Noah was for Jewish people only.

My family going back to the early 1900s, French Canadian, it was common to have the first name Marie or Mary.  But they used their middle names in every day life.   For example Marie Elizabeth was called Elizabeth or Liz, never Marie.

In doing ancestry the names can be interesting and sometimes tell a story.  [/quote]
