Common examples are fashion statements, ex. dreadlocks, henna tattoos, even mohawks on white people, or liberals thinking they're exotic for eating Vietnamese food.
Bananarama, is that you?
To answer your question, I think if you wanted to give your white child a Japanese or African name, it would be nice if you had *some* connection to the culture, but you don't *have* to. I know a white girl named Avani because her mother stumbled upon the name and really liked it. Not something everyone would do, but no big whoop.
