This post made me laugh... I'm a citizen of a former British colony, and what we learned about Lord Mountbatten was that he basically left
India & Pakistan a bloody mess before hightailing it back to his English mansion. Zero transition plans, stoking the fires of ethnic division and then poof'ed.
To the original topic, with what we know today about sensitivity and cultural appropriation, I don't think people should naming their children after entire regions they have zero ethnic or social ties to. That goes for names like
China,
Asia, Syria etc. And
Dakota.
