Re: Is Dakota an Offensive name?
in reply to a message by RoxStar
Ha, yeah I realized after I posted it that it wasn't the best resource for names. But I stand by the explanation of why Dakota and Cheyenne might not be the best names to use, and advice to go about researching a name that fits your particular culture if you feel so inclined to honor it.
I do think most white Americans who like Dakota just like the sound of it, but look deeper for an excuse to justify it.

Place names, and place names in general, and especially western ones, like Sierra, Dakota, Montana, Cheyenne and the like are pretty popular.
