I also think it's harsh to give your kid a name from your own cultural background, that is almost unpronouncabile in English, or means something bad in English (unless it is a last name, which would be unavoidable). It's fine to name your kid something ethnic, but if it sounds like a swear word, then don't. Also, I personally prefer that parents combine ethnic names with non ethnic names. For example, a Chinese Canadian family might name their daughter Katherine Mei Ling Wong
