Re: Naming your kids something that is not your culture
I know an American family who named their son Maksim.

Are they American like live there or are they cultural Americans? I know Americans born there named Džejla, Šejla, Inela, Arijana, Adin, Tarik, Mustafa... but their parents are from Bosnia.
I think both parents are 100 americans.
I just wonder still because I have met Canadians, who are very Canadian and multiple generations of child down, but have Ukrainian heritage and still are following the culture...
