ArchivesWhat's the problem
in reply to a message by Arimaen
Hi Arimaen,
you don't think it's a good idea to give an American name to an Australian child?? So no Australian child can be named Rachel which is Hebrew, Erin which is Irish, Alexander which is Greek, Carl which is Norse, or Robert which is Teutonic?????
Regards, Satu

I think the issue was partially that Montana is a place name, and while Irish people often give their kids Irish names, far less people identify themselves as ethnically Montanian. Regardless, I don't see anything wrong with randomly or seemingly randomly chosen names in that department, but I do think Montana is an ugly name anyway . . .
Cheyenne is nice, though. I used to know an awesome horse named Cheyenne.

Oh no
The biggest problem that I have with Montana is that It would be
like someone in the US naming their child New South Wales!
Yet, I would put up with Victoria. Its nice and its where I live. It was also a NAME before it ever became a PLACE.
I just don't like the look of Cheyenne, too awkward.
