[Facts] Re: Would using a -Dottir type of name as a first name be offensive?
In general, misusing a name from a culture that isn't ours is either offensive or makes you look ignorant. Even if it's for a character — but in that case it can work within the fiction (for instance, you purposely make the character's parents ignorant).Florence Maud - Mary Valentine ("May") - Ada Imogen - Clementine Everly - Sophia Eleanor - Lucy Beatrice ("Lou") | Henry Valerian - Maxence George - Benedict Louis - Emory Willian - John Arthur ("Jack") - Frederick Darcy
