"Somehow", "probably". It sounds like you don't even know why you're claiming what you're claiming.
Our pony is called Rodi, it's a traditional English Romani name used since at least the nineteenth century.(An interesting article about Victorian Romani names, for anyone who is curious: https://www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2014/05/victorian-romany-names.html)
Differing cultural contexts makes a lot of sense with who takes issue with the name and who doesn't. Always an interesting discussion to be had. I can certainly think of a few names that British english speakers would take issue with that wouldn't be so scorned here.

My mother is still a bit horrified there's a pony called Crumpet
