I agree with the others that using Dakota, Cheyenne and other tribal names for children is disrepectful. Cultural appropriation to be more specific. It basically seems like whites (and perhaps some African-Americans/Canadians) use the names with a romanticized idea of American Indians like Disney's Pocahontas or something. And I think people have the same mentality with "India", China, Persia and such.

This is different than calling your kid Brittany, Scott, Erin or Frenchie- we didnt go in and commit genocide against those peoples and then steal aspects of their culture.
