Dakota Ethan is beautiful

I don't really like it but I prefer it on a boy.

Dakota is an okay name but only for a boy though I would not personally use it. And I like the sound of Dakota Ethan.

It's tacky to me. The kind of wannabe-western name that parents give who have never been out West, never been out in the country, never met an actual Indian but think they're being all multicultural. *rolls eyes*

You very rarely see actual Indians giving their kids the names of tribes. Same as you don't see white people calling their kids Russian or English.

I like it only for a girl.

It's an Indian tribe...

Not a personal name.

Dakota Ethan is beautiful

I really dislike it because it is a word to me (the state).

Beyond that, Dakota Ethan sounds nice enough I guess. And I would prefer it on a boy then a girl.

either [m]

I like Dakota a lot!

It sounds girly, but I guess it could go both ways. You just have to pair it with a very feminine or masculine mn, whichever way you go.

Dakota Ethan sounds nice, but still a little girly.

Either, but it sounds more boyish to me

---

But Dakota--like other Native American tribe names--seems like naming your kid French or Canadian to me, so I dislike it for either gender.

Either

For a boy, I like Dakota Ethan. For a girl, maybe Dakota Scarlett, Dakota Marie, Dakota Elise, Dakota Joanne, Dakota Renee, Dakota Hailey.

I also like the name Ethan, however.

I. Cannot. Stand. It.
