Are Roman names pretentious?
I got into an argument with this girl Michele abour Roman names.We were talking about names with Lisa, a friend who is pregnant. I suggested that Claudia was a nice name, and Lisa agreed. But Michele opened her mouth and said that Claudia was a Roman name. Michele then added that Roman names are pretentious and that only snobbish people and hipsters use them.I find this especially ridiculous since Michele is half-Colombian (on her dad's side; her mom is white non-Hispanic), and a lot of Spanish names come from ancient Rome. And most Claudias I know are Hispanic (one is even Colombian). I even told her Julia is an ancient Roman name, which she seemed to be oblivious to.So, do you think names of Roman origin are pretentious?
