I can understand that naming a child is cultural. Still for me, if a name from a different culture had meaning for me, then I wouldn't mind using it. The most important thing for us with names is the meaning, we like to name children and one day be able to tell them 'this is why you have this name'. So it's a given that I'd understand the meaning of the name, or the name would have meaning (for example, if I wasn't sure what Sven meant, but some meaningful person or place was called Sven ).
