Help[Opinions] Re: I like them...

But not Paris because you're white British so Paris is okay? Or did you just not type it?
There has to be a rule to what's insensitive and what isn't and I'm trying to figure it out.
Now I know Dakota is actually the name of a Native American tribe and so is Cheyenne, so now I know that I'd say they were totally insensitive cos they're races of people. That's just really weird. ESPECIALLY if your race beat up on the people your naming your kid after.
I know if I met a white kid with my ethnicity as their name I'd be like "what... the hell?" :(
And it goes both ways cos I'd never name my kids English. Or French. That would just be crazy.
But I think places are more okay? Less insensitive I mean? Because a place is a place and not people. My brother has a white girlfriend named India and we never thought to be offended by it.
But if your country is having a war with the country you name your kid that probably is horribly insensitive.
