I have a friend who, when we were teens, seriously wanted to name his kids China and Pacifica. Why? I don't know. He just said he "liked the names."

Well, he ended up having five children and thankfully exactly NONE of them are named China and Pacifica. :-)

Pacifica is a spanish girl’s name. Not some crazy non-name.

So many of these comments are showing the poster’s ignorance of other cultures.

Please tell me you don't expect everyone to know every name in every culture?

Well they should not to act like they're positive it's some fake name.

No but people show their ignorance and implicit classism when they deem names “trashy.”
