What I mean is: how common or socially accepted is it in your country to give your child a name that doesn’t come from your own culture or language, and where you don’t really have any strong personal connection to that culture?
For example, in the UK, it’s not unheard of for some upper-class parents to give their kids French names, even if they don’t actually have any real French background maybe just some very distant ancestry. But it’s still relatively uncommon, and when people do it, it can sometimes be seen as a bit pretentious or like they’re trying too hard to seem cultured.
I’ve also heard that in some countries, giving a kid an English or American-style name can come across as kind of tacky or cringe, especially if it feels out of place with the local culture.
So I’m wondering is this something that happens much in your country? Is giving a child a foreign name seen as cool or trendy, or more looked down on.
