Help[Opinions] Re: Sorry for the controvertial post (m)
in reply to a message by SJayne
I think I understand now why so many people said they hated it when I made that poll three years ago. I had no idea it was a controversial name either. This site says it has English usage as a first name and it's at number 300 something on the popularity chart in the US.
*cries* but I like it...

I had no idea either
I was completely taken aback by this issue. Apparently I'm naive and ignorant! I still think Cohen sounds really nice and it seems that people apparently get "offended" about things a lot quicker than I do. (Since I wouldn't get up in arms if someone used a title from my religion. I'd think it was odd. Not a big deal though) Anyhow, I'd still consider the name, I think, but good to be aware of what *some* reactions might be depending on where you are.

This site doesn't say Cohen is an English name. It says it has English usage (i.e. it is used by English speakers).

That's what I meant, sorry for the wording. I know it's a Jewish name.
