Helpusing a name from a different culture than your own
Hi. A favorite name I've come across recently is Kalervo. We've been looking for an alternative to Calvin with nn Cal. Thinking seriously about Calervo (emphasis on second syllable). Kalervo is a well-known and apparently exclusively Finnish name from Finn mythology. No one in our family has a drop of Finnish blood or any affiliation with Finland. Does it seem lame to adopt a name from another culture this way? I suppose we'd be explaining our whole lives that 'we just liked the name'.
Anyone with experience doing something like this, or general opinions? thanks for your thoughts.
