Cohen is vs. Offensive?

I have a two month old baby boy named Cohen and I just heard that some people are offended by the name? I don’t understand why? One of my friends said that her mom was super offended when she heard I named my baby Cohen because she is Jewish. Can anyone explain to me why Cohen would be offensive to someone? I still love the name, but it’s weird to me that people think this. -Celeste

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
