HelpRe: Is Dakota an Offensive name?
in reply to a message by Sierra
No, I don't find it offensive and whoever claims otherwise, is ridiculous.
I've known two people with this name; one boy, the other a girl. (I definitely view it as unisex) neither of them ever had any problems about having an "offensive name" and the fact that many Americans (including caucasions) have some level of native american blood in them, I think people should just get over the origin of the name already.
Dakota is a usable name and if you wish to use it, have at it. I think it's very nice. Good name choice (:
What would his twin be named? Dakota & ____?

This talk of many European-Americans having some level of Native American blood and all European-Americans saying they do got me curious so I've been trying to find some kind of data on it. I finally found that five million European-Americans have genomes that are at least 1 percent Native American in origin. Not so very many relatively speaking and not so very much NA ancestry.
