[Opinions] Yes, what a world we live in

His name should have been Hung-Chang, or something like that, what a joke. I don't recall names ever having to only belong to certain ethnicities. Jerome by the way, is a great name that could fit anyone. I adore various names such as Alexei(Russian), Etienne(French) as well as others. In my opinion, I would rather name my children a wide variety of different names outside my ethnicity then use the same rehashed names(Michael, Joshua,I could name others, but I would fall asleep) as well as others. Cinnamon sounds strange to me, but as long as that person named "Cinnamon" feels comfortable about their name then good for that individual.

All I was trying to say was that it was unusual and that I have only EVER heard it being used by someone of an African American race. I am NOT racist it is just an observation.
