Hello,
That's a good question. It could be that your friend DOES support your transracial adoption, but doesn't get that you'd give your AA child an AA name. Naming is such a personal thing that a lot of people don't take into account different reasons for naming children. For example, DH and are are very traditional when it comes to names. When it came to naming our children, we never considered not using family names. Or at least names that are personally meaningful to us.

So your friend may not have considered that AA names can be given to children with CC parents, but she probably thought that an AA name is unlikely to be meaningful to you as a CC person.

Best,
