So I have been a bit curious about this for quite some time. I have always been very much against cultural appropriation and just wanted to hear everyone's opinions.
Would you say it's ONLY cultural appropriation if the name is from a usually oppressed culture? Or any culture apart from your own?
Names like Sergei, Soren, Stellan, Linnea, Anouk seem to be gaining a lot of popularity but for some reason I just can't be fully on board with them being used left and right with no connection to the origins of the name.
This is completely personal though and everyone is free to choose the name they like the most.
