i really feel that the world is so cross cultural now that the teasing of yesteryear surely must be fading.
I understand people wanting to hold onto their heritage and follow tradition, but i really don't see how it can be offensive, disrespectful or 'stealing' to use a name from another culture. But if another person used the same name as my children i would be a little chuffed that they liked it too, i know other people get all funny and possessive about namers they choose.

I really wouldn't blink an eye if there was a blonde haired blue eyed girl called Priya. I would just think, wow, that's a pretty name.

I do like the idea of names going together like you say Maz, sticking with a theme, but then again i think it is weird some people have all their kids starting with the same letter.

Names are a funny thing Ryn, you're right. Another of those topics that seems to have many views.
