Its from Native American origin, a sioux word for friend and yet the first thing that comes to mind when hearing it is generic white girl.

Just saw this searching about the name

"Naming your child DAKOTA is NOT Cultural Appropriation! If that were the case...
Don't name your child DOUGLAS! It is a SCOTTISH GAELIC name!
Don't name your child JOHN! It is a HEBREW name!
Don't name your child PIERRE! It is a FRENCH name!"

Well...I dont think Americans did genocide on any of those...

I agree with that. Im not going on a cancelling tour with this. Just wondering given the socio political climate lately, how we havent heard about this.

This is really what people do with their time? Going out of your way to look for something to be offended about. Pathetic.

All names have unique origins from various cultures throughout world history. No one cares.

I thought about the state.

Anyway, I don't think it's particularly problematic to a great extent. I'm sure others disagree, but...

Someone who gets it. Im aware civilizations tend to be a melting pot and thats fine. Just that for the first time (apparently) in history we have more social awareness and was wondering what people thought of that.

I remember a story in my hospital of a baby girl being named Sioux instead of Sue once before.
