...different than your own? For example, an American family giving their baby an Irish name even though they don't have Irish roots, or an African name, even though they don't have any African roots. I'm just curious what you guys think. Is it weird? Or do you think it's ok?
 
nope
my names aramaic in origin and im korean born italion raised and married a korean guy who was raised swedish... not weird at all in fact though they may have roots in that language or culture the meanign behind it is the most important.. i laugh at mine... my names samantha derived from samuel form the bible and im not jewish.. was raised catholics and now im not affiliated with any religion or philosophy... ha ha ha
its perfectly fine i named my dauhgter sakura rei and im nto japanese
 
Not At all!!

There are millions, and millions of different names across the globe, all from different places across the world, and with so Many, It is pretty much beautiful to see different names from different places in one whole family!
 
I don't think it's an issue, but it can be pretty weird depending on your last name. It's a complete nonproblem if you have a common name like Smith or Johnson.
 
No i think it's pretty cool actually. THere's a guy at my school named Alam Johnston, and he's not islamic at all in any way, but everyone thinks his name is really cool
 
Nope not weird at all....There are beautiful names from all over the world! I love that they are shared between people everywhere. You dont have to be of a certain nationality to love the culture.
 
Of course it isn't weird. Lots of languages have beautiful names. Why limit yourself.
