Help[Opinions] Dakota
What do you think of Dakota for a girl? I really like it at the moment. Is it too trendy? It isn't really common and doesn't remind me of a similar popular name so I think it's fine to use.
I also like it for a boy, but every time I pair it with a masculine middle name, e.g. Dakota Richard, Dakota just looks so feminine next to it.
What do you think? Boy or Girl? How many Dakotas do you know? Of which gender?

My brother is named Dakota. He is 21. He name is Dakota Robert.
I don't like it at all. I find it really trendy and childish. It sucks because I really love my brother and want to honor him but I don't think I could bring myself to use Dakota on my child even as a middle name. I just think it sounds tacky and lower class. My brother is none of these things but thinking about the name without him attached, thats how I feel.

I don't like it. My mother wanted to name me this because it was a character on the soap she was currently watching. I just don't think it makes sense if the kid is not a member of the Dakota tribe.

I know ONE Dakota. He is male.
Also, I think it sounds trendy because it fits with things like Cheyenne. You know. Naming a kid after a group you don't belong to.
I really don't like it as a female name. [Actually, I don't like it at all, but I'd prefer it on a boy.] Dakota Richard sounds fine to me.
Similar sound but not related, I do love Nekoda for a boy.

I don't really know if it's the same, but
I know plenty of Christians whose parents weren't religious and who aren't religious themselves. Same with Christina, Christiana, Christine, Christa etc so I don't really think it matters. If you couldn't name a kid Dakota you also couldn't name it Aurélie (unless you were from France) or Christian (unless you were a christian) because those are groups you don't belong to.

I think Dokota is too feminine for a boy - unless the boy was a brunette. But I think it's fine for a girl. I don't know anyone called that though!
