I kind of like
Dakota on a boy. I don't mind it on a girl but I think on a boy it would be handsome, with the nn
Cody. I also like it for a male horse for some reason. I once met a horse named
Dakota and he was the cutest. I'd call him
Cody as well.
1. Do you like the name
Dakota? Do you prefer it on a boy or a girl?
2. Do you think it's popular? I think it has a trendy feel to it but I hardly met any Dakotas. Just three girls, two boys and a male horse so far. Do you know any Dakotas? How old are they and are they male or female? Do you know any middle names? Do they go by
Cody or by another nn (Kota) etc?
3. Do you think its popularity will rise or fall?
4. Do you think it's disrespectful to name a child
Dakota? A woman was having a fit about that on another message board. She said it was disrespectful to Native American people and I heard a lot of people say that.
5. How do you like:
Dakota Richard for a boy? and
Dakota Emmeline or
Dakota Rose for a girl? It's funny, now that I'm writing this....it seems really strange to pair
Dakota up with
Richard. It looks really feminine next to
Richard and really masculine next to
Emmeline but okay with
Rose hmmmmmm
