HelpRe: Naming your kids something that is not your culture
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
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

Middle names I assume are different than given names by some amount from what I have seen here.
(My culture does not use them like this, we have patronymic)
Wales is very near anglosphere countries so it makes more sense I guess (especially than example of anglosphere kid called Yuki)
