There has been some debate in recent months about names you can/can't use on baby names.
So my question is, is it ur to use a name when you have no connection to its country of origin. Would you be appropriating the culture it came from?
Also, when is it 'okay' to Anglicise names?
E.g. I could use Connor instead of Conchobhar, or Neve instead of Niamh, but not Zanthe instead of Xanthe or Eefa instead of Aoife.
