@_@ What's with you and making really pointless argumentative posts?

Cohen is a surname.
Surnames are cool now.
People will give their children surnames as first names whether it offends you or not. And I do not think you should really be offended because you're not even apart of the group that apparently should be offended. People do not need you to feel their offense for them, they can manage on their own.
Also, the guy on the OC is not the only Cohen. Look at all these other Cohen's that people MIGHT be naming their child after: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohen_(surname)
Okay, Cohen is like the Jewish Smith. There are A LOT of people with the surname Cohen. And I'm sure not *ALL* of them are Kohanim Jews. Maybe you should go be "offended" at them. You know, HOW DARE THEY USE THAT AS A SURNAME!?
...I do not think it is up to you to decide who people are naming their child after without talking to them. Period.

Please, may we try to avoid making personal attacks? Your opinion and hers are worth the same to everyone, no matter how abrasively they are presented.
