Middle name question about appropriation
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?---"one particular boogie will move mirror massaging with stirring crepe mixture, positioning loaves while in the furnace then toting items in containers" ~ best Russian daing sites (guest, 198.144.149.xxx) (2020)
