HelpRe: question [m]
in reply to a message by Array
Personally while I like Dakota, and Cheyenne, I would be opt to using an actual name from the culture rather then the actual culture as a name. I have a friend named Lakota, and she's Native American :).

...So, uh. What's your point?

ETA: A better explanation of my reaction to your response:
This threadlet of sorts is a discussion on the use of Dakota as a name and whether it's disrespectful and ignorant or not. It is not a discussion of what Sabrina Fair thinks of the name Dakota, or whether Sabrina Fair would use it. Quite frankly, I don't care. Do you have any relevant arguments left?

it answers your question in this post
my point is, as long as someone has respect for the people, and culture (regardless of what culture it is) then it's fine to use it.
ETA: I don't care that you don't care what I think, however why should people care what other people name their kids, it's their children not anyone elses. Even if it's considered 'ignorant, and rude' to someone or a Native American, it doesn't mean it's offensive to all Native Americans, or even other people. That's just my opinion though. If people dislike Dakota, that's their opinion everyone had dislikes, and likes or is offended by certain names, and some others are fine.
