"It's true, what's ignorant about it?"The comment assumes that only American Caucasians use any rhyme or reason in generating a name (or that they just use a book). It doesn't assume that other cultures may have other factors in deciding a name. Little River is a name, but we'd think of it as a name pulled "out of [Native American] asses" (in this case) simply because we're not familiar with that type of name.
I don't see why someone would not name their baby a certain name just because that name is "linked" to something bad that has happened.I'm sure if you did enough research on every name possible, you'd find that something bad is "linked" with every single one of them.
