原Ham is considered the ancestor of all Africans, as almost all of his descendants moved south from the Middle East after Babel. Even Canaan's descendants eventually settled in northern Africa.
As for the "curse of Ham," blame it on Noah's hangover. I think it's a poignant illustration of the fact that words have power, and that your circumstances are no excuse for saying something hurtful to those you love. No matter what we're dealing with, we need to learn to control our tongue.
For the record, Ham did not instantly become a black man when Noah pronounced that curse on him and Canaan. That took generations of living under the African sun. Most Scottish and Irish people have some hamitic ancestry, and they're white.
原If I did not live in an English speaking country I would use this name because it is wonderful, but because of where I live I would only use it if I moved to a non-English speaking country.
原Someone named Ham will be teased because of the food. Even worse, there was the racist "Curse of Ham", which was a "justification" for enslaving black people in the old days. I think that part will make a sensitive person horrified.

哦，上帝我不认为我真的会找到名字火腿当我打字！谁会认真对待他们的孩子。
原Oh God I didn't think I would actually find the name Ham when I typed it in! Who would name their child this seriously.
原This name has the same meaning in Dutch as it does in English so I would never use it for a child even though I think that if I could forget that, I would like it. In the Netherlands, people would probably use "Cham" which is the original Hebrew and usual Dutch form of this name.

在学校，孩子们会像“嘿，想要一个火腿三明治”，然后粉碎他/她！

原I agree with the above comment about the fact that even though it does not mean meat, everyone would assume so. Maybe if you lived somewhere that wasn't English-speaking it wouldn't be so bad.

原I would never name my child Ham. Althought it doesn't mean that it's the meat from pigs, everyone would think so. Imagine meeting someone at say, the park, and you asked their name and they said: "My name is Ham." I would be like, "Are you kidding?" (No offence to anyone named Ham :D)

译 有人命名为火腿将因为食物而被戏弄。更糟糕的是，有种族主义者“火腿诅咒”，这是在过去奴役黑人的“理由”。我认为这部分会使敏感的人恐惧。
