[Opinions] Re: Dakota
in reply to a message by Lily8
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.
