I was being a little tongue in cheek.
Yes, I almost wrote East Slavic, not Russian, but decided that would be geeking out too much
I knew a female named Misha. I guess her parent's thought it sounded like a really cool and unique name for their daughter.
I never had the heart to tell her that in Russian, Misha means Michael.

One of the arguments I've read why cultural appropriation is wrong is it is the dominant (i.e. white) culture taking from minority cultures and profiting off it, while the minority culture doesn't, as well as making it and claiming it as their own. So basically corporations and white entertainers profit off the customs of black people and other minorities.
I'm not smart enough to tell you how to prevent that, if it is indeed deemed wrong, but that's the argument.

Yes, I thought you were, but I wanted to say what I did, your post gave me that opportunity....... thanks.
LOL, actually I know a few of those Misha's...... One I find odd is several women from Mexico named Olga...... It is fairly popular there.
Are ppl that come here from Asia & pick up a name like Mike or George appropriating?? They just want something simple that ppl can say....
Are they appropriating if they wear dockers or other US brands??

Actually, when you get right down to it, the Russians stole Olga from the Swedes, it is the Slavic version of Helga. So we can trace your friend's namesake from Mexico to Russia to Sweden.
Obviously, everyone is free to choose whatever they want.
I tend to be more traditional. To me, it would be weird if my relatives had names like Carlos or Saul. There is not a single drop of Hispanic or Jewish blood in any of us!
