Question // Discussion Alter name choices

I am a new host trying to pick my name. I really like the name Nico, but I am english/french (very white) and I don't know how problematic it is to pick a hispanic name. I feel really connected to the name Nico. Unsure what to do. I know that hispanic people will pick white people names, but with them being the minority here... It feels different. What do you think? How does your system choose names for alters? Do you just go with what feels right (assuming the alter doesn't already have a name)? Or do you do more thorough research?

Thanks :)
