Both my husband and I are white and I was wondering if the first name Jordan for a boy is suitable for a caucasian. I am not being racist, I just don't him to have a name that is mostly used by other races.

Come on ! Who cares if you are pink! Jordan is a nice name for a boy. Just so you know I know a colored boy who is named Jordan.
We are a bunch of races all living on this planet and we're constantly using a form of a name or the same name.
BTW Jordan in Arabic is Or dun.
For a girl you use Jordayna.

I think Jordan is a cute name for a boy. I was actually thinking about naming my son Jordan...he's half black, half puerto rican. But you shouldn't name your child a name that you think is suitable for his complexion and race. It should be based on if you and your husband like the name and feel that it has a nice ring to it. I named my son Jayden..which is becoming very popular these days between girls, boys, whites, blacks, and hispanics. You shouldn't determine your child's name with what race he/she is going to be. Good luck...but Jordan is a cute name.

The name Jordan is such a common, biblical name. ALL races of people have the name Jordan. It's a really nice name for a guy, too.

The name Jordan originates from Hebrew and means "to flow, or descend" I have a cousin that is named Jordan and he is Dutch with blue eyes and blonde hair. However I don't think that somebody should choose a name because of what race it sounds like it fits, if they love the name, then they should choose that name.

Of course it can be suitable for a caucasian. In fact, every Jordan I have ever met has been white. Even the girl's I've met named Jordan were white.

I love that name b/c my oldest daughter was going to be Jordan Tyler but instead she turned out to be a girl and her name is Kali Lyn. I think the name Jordan is for everyone. I have never thought about other races usin that name. Good Luck!

Jordan is a very common name in the Jewish community. I don't think it is a problem to name your son Jordan regardless of race. However, Jordan is a very unisex name and I don't like unisex names.

Jordan is a excellent name, and if you both like it then it shouldn't matter where it comes from. There are so many different races with different race names. Now days it don't really matter!!
