Well of course it's not really a racial slur, but...

Mowgli is a little jungle child, right? So that in itself could be twisted into a racial slur, and when combined with Bronx, which is an area with a considerable amount of racial minorities...

I just think it sounds bad.

ETA: Many believe and find evidence that Rudyard Kipling was a racist, which probably adds to the vibe to me.

But seriously, BRONX MOWGLI. It's like naming your kid Ghetto Tarzan or something.
