Not goodFirst off, I don't like the sound of it. But mostly I think it's weird to use an Indian tribe's name as a person's name.

UghI really don't like it. Besides the fact that it is trendy I find it someone disrespectful in a sense. That idea has been beaten to death on this board so I won't go further into it. That being said, I very much agree with Chrisell on the matter. Also, I found it very trendy.

I dislike it . . .I feel uncomfortable about origin names (whether it's Cheyenne or Dakota or Roman or Scott) when the family concerned has no significant connection to the origin. Just my opinion; your mileage may vary.I particularly dislike Cheyenne because the pronunciation makes it sound like you're describing a girl named Anne as being shy (Shy Anne). I've even seen Shyanne and Shy-Anne, which is just absurd to me.So . . . no, it doesn't get my vote as a sister for Jewel.

I don't think it would be disrespectful at all to use a name like Cheyenne but I agree with the rest of what you said. I also hear Shy Anne when I say it. I know a little girl named Shyann and I never quite understood why her parents chose to spell it that way.

Probably the parents wanted to be sure the name was correctly pronounced, thus the incorrect spelling.
No need, I wouldn't have thought, as most people recognise the word, and wouldn't pronounce it as, for example, the last name of the out-going U.S. Vice-President.
