[Opinions] Re: Dakota?
in reply to a message by Sophie12
I strongly dislike it on either gender.
For a girl, it sounds like the parents were trying really hard to come up with something unique, but failed.
I can also see how it might come across as ignorant toward Native American culture to name someone this, since it's a tribe name rather than a human name. It's along the lines of naming your child Ireland or Filipino.
I would say the naming style is modern androgynous.
For combos, I'd suggest pairing it with something clearly feminine:
Dakota Jane
Dakota Hazel
Dakota Rosemary
Dakota Ruby
Dakota Cecily
Julia Dakota
Alice Dakota
Mary Dakota
Phoebe Dakota
Emily Dakota
