HelpRe: Middle name question about appropriation
in reply to a message by PrincessZ
It's a legitimate concern. In general, I am against appropriating names from other cultures. Winona does not bother me quite as much as Cheyenne for some reason, though. It feels slightly more mainstream. But I probably wouldn't.

That's because Cheyenne isn't even meant to be a given name and Winona is. I think most people use Cheyenne as a place name but still, it's an exonym so it's not even the correct name for a tribe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheyenne#Name
