Oh, I know no one is uncivil, but I just thought it might get out of hand like all the other past conversations about those names being "offensive" or "illegitimate." I just thought that since this post was about American names, and not about whether Cheyenne and Dakota are okay or not that those that wanted to talke about them may want to check out the previous post about those names.
