I donβt see the problem with this name (it actually used to be the name of my betta fish π). It does have a rugged, earthy feel, and while I personally wonβt use it if I have kids, I have a character that it would fit nicely.
I actually love the name Dusty. I'm female and my name is Dusty, my dad named me. I have never had a real problem with anyone really saying anything out the way about it...I love my name always have always will...thanks y'all.
