How do you feel about the name Guadalupe?

The first time I saw it was on a little boy with Down syndrome and they called him Lupe for short, which sounds like Loopy and I thought it was so mean of his parents to do that to him. I was in 5th grade, though, and didn't realize it was a cultural name and his parents may not have even been English speakers.

On that note, as an adult, I wouldn't blink if I met a Mexican man/boy or woman/girl with the name (I guess it's common for both) but anyone else and it would be out of the proper ethnicity. Unless it's someone from a super-Catholic family.
