HelpRe: Naming your kids something that is not your culture
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
Here there are many people who choose popular English names for their children, but they can't even speak English. It makes me cringe. I have seen the romanticizing of the USSR in America for many years. I don't know where it comes from, but it's very ignorant to say the least. I think also, with the war in Ukraine, western youth don't understand the difference between being supportive and appropriating other people's suffering. They see it as a way get attention. It's very disrespectful, but social media encourages it.

I have seen people who call their kids English things in Ukraine too, and yes it is weird and cringe.

I see this too. It makes me feel disgusted when people use our suffering for likes.
