Mirfak, I agree with what you're saying here.
After I thought about it a little more I almost deleted my original post because of the very points you made.
I found it kind of an interesting conversation topic related to a discussion I had recently with someone over whether naming a football team after a Native American group could be considered honoring or not.
I had a neighbor who was a social studies teacher who used to name his dogs after Native tribes.
However, it's not something I feel the need to do, one way or another.
I would rather not try to make a political/social statement with my dog's name. ;)
Thanks for your well-reasoned input! :)
