Help[Opinions] Re: To pronounce a name the way you want - disrespectful?
in reply to a message by Caprice
I would say that yes it is disrespectful to take something from another culture and purposely misuse it.
What you've described happening with the English names in Sweden seems like a different situation. Seeing Caoimhe in a book and pronouncing it to rhyme with Naomi is different than knowingly doing it.
