Mah, you two are purists XP . There's nothing WRONG with having a Japanese name, even if you're white. Especially in places like California where everything is rainbow politics and cultural diversity is prioritized higher than a logical budgeting policy. I mean, how about all these guys in America that convert to Islam in their adult life and then change their name to something of Arabic origin? Muhammed Ali (and I think Barack Obama, but not sure), for example.

But does that not apply going the other way? I remember watching a learn japanese program where the actress just
could not pronounce "McDonald". She kept saying "Makudoronorodo-san", which is almost close.
Call me wierd if you like, but if I
really thought the name fit, I would give my kid a Japanese name. I just don't see anything wrong with it. It's unusual, sure... but I like the unusual
.
