I didn't think about the place names and new names being from the Ameican culture until I wrote this. I knew of Native Americans named Cheyenne and Dakota from school (they weren't in my grade, though). Those have become trendy American names. I can think of a few white kids in the school I work at with those names, but they also fall in the place name trends. I think that if someone used a name that isn't expected because of your race or last name, you would expect the person to have some sort of a connection to it. A late best friend, you are fascinated by the culture, any important connection, not just I like it.
