At the risk of sounding dumb, ignorant, or rude, I think I'll make a bad decision and chime in here. I agree with your point about the use of Cohen being more stupid than offensive. "Offensive" seems like too intense of a word for this sort of thing, in my very humble opinion. I personally don't understand how people can become truly offended by the use of a name, and this all sort of reminds me of that kid whose named got changed from Messiah to something else because the judge was deeply offended.

Regardless of whether I think Jewish people should be offended or not, I'll remember not to use this name because I'm not interested in offending people or making anyone upset. I do definitely understand and respect the argument against Cohen that has been presented in this thread.
