It depends on the name, the region and the family heritage. For example husband and I have agreed on Morwenna and Tesni as middle names for a potential daughter. Outwardly neither us or our parents have any Cornish or Welsh connection but I have traced my Cornish family back a few hundred years to the 1600s. My great grandmother, my great great grandmother and their families were also born in South Wales. Equally if it is a name like Layla that has become universally popular in an area I don’t see a problem with it.

Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from
