This, and cultural diffusion is a normal part of human society. It has been for countless thousands of years.

I understand why cultural appropriation can be problematic but the fact remains that the usual mode of cultural diffusion has been, “that’s really cool. I wanna have that too”

It’s not a zero sum game because there isn’t some finite limit. By wearing a kimono or whatever you aren’t taking someone else’s right to wear one away from them.

the way i see it it's at worst cringey and in bad taste, but on the flip side it's at best a huge compliment because someone liked your culture enough to name their child according to it.

And a cringey name is nothing new, there are people who name their kids "hope" or "gaius maximus"
