It sounds nice, but I dislike the meaning & trendiness...

I don't like it. First, it means "unintelligible speakers". Second, it's the equivalent of naming your kid Canadian, German, or French imo. Third, it's trendy and therefore will be very dated by the time she's 50--the equivalent of today's Bertha.If you're actually Cheyenne-descended, then I think it's far more tolerable. Also, Cheyenne itself is very preferable to some butchered spelling of the name such as Shyann.Miranda

It's alright. It definitely has a sort of Wild West fancifulness, and is unusual / new enough that it sounds "young" and "middle class." I think it's pretty, although not really my style. I suppose if the woman (man?) has any Cheyenne blood, that makes it a bit more legit to use; but I don't think it's offensive if not, anymore than it's offensive to, say, name a girl Erin who isn't Irish. - chazda

If you're Native than it's great - if you're not Native then it's just as tacky as white people getting Chinese tattoos.

It's nms. I just think it sounds odd to give a child at name that represents a whole group. Maybe instead there's a first name from one of your boyfriend's Native ancestors you could use?

I don't care for it. It isn't feminine to me, and I don't think it will age well.
