So I had the name Winona down for quite a while, but not for an immediate first name pick. I've only just re-found-out (because I had forgotten) that it is a Native American name. I'm used to it being a place-name, Winona Ryder, and the name of one of the gym leaders in the 3rd gen Pokemon games.

---

Which brings me to ask; would it be appropriate for a British white person to use Winona as a middle name? At all? IF so, under what conditions?

---

Branching off from that, how about a Japanese name like Sakura?

---

I admit, I know far more about Japan and Japanese culture (and the Japanese language) than Native American literally-everything aside from basic history I've had to research myself because it's not touched upon in our schools

---

Technically neither is Japan, but I've gone further out of my way to educate myself on Japanese culture and language because I would like to someday visit and my worst fear from that is being the idiot foreigner who never bothers to learn the language / culture.

---

Does anybody have any thoughts on this, and does your opinion change if it's being used as a middle, rather than a first name?
