I agree that they are names of tribes and not people, and are therefore not legitimate in my opinion either. They can also be seen as offensive, not just illegitimate. I think for the sake of keeping this conversation civil you may just want to pop over to one of the many conversations (or feuds as some may think) on the name. Here is one:http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=782408&board=babyEnjoy!

Thanks for that, but...no one is being uncivil.

Oh, I know no one is uncivil, but I just thought it might get out of hand like all the other past conversations about those names being "offensive" or "illegitimate." I just thought that since this post was about American names, and not about whether Cheyenne and Dakota are okay or not that those that wanted to talke about them may want to check out the previous post about those names.
