Names from other countries?

I feel like ive looked at every name online so was wondering if names from other countries were off limits? I love the name Kaj but we're not Polish. Does this matter?? What about these? Lorenzo /Enzo Emilios Eitan Maël Ayça Khalid

My son is Enzo. We live in Australia but my husbands dad and grandparents were born in Italy. All my kids have an Italian first or middle name but I would have likely chosen Enzo anyway as we love the name. Kaj is cool

I guess you can name your kid anything you like. We are Romanian and Argentinian and our son has a scottish name and a spanish surname. But if our next will be a boy we are planning to name him Luca which is Italian

I’m from Belgium originally I’ll list some typical names. Boy -wout / wouter -tibo / Thibo -lukas -adam -noah -jules -nathan Girl -elise -juliette -mila -marie -louise

Kaj is also a Swedish name. And Finnish but spelt Kai. Go for whatever name you like.

I’m Jewish and was contemplating naming my boy Eitan but it’s not really commonly used outside of Israel so I decided against it myself. It’s slowly becoming more popular to use in some Jewish communities in the diaspora but it’s not very widely used outside of Israel yet!

You can name your child what ever you like. Well, almost anyway. I would just check if those foreign names have meaning in that language. Sometimes I see Finnish words used as names and I cringe and wonder if the parents knew what they were naming their child.
