I know several people who have named their pets (mainly dogs)
Dakota (my aunt, a friend and two other relatives included).
Dakota, IMO, seems to be a name that was nice on a human for a very short amount of time - I can count on one hand the number of times I've heard it while out and about - but has remained popular in the animal-naming world! I personally wouldn't use it....
