Hello,
My wife and I are considering naming our new baby Dakota Christopher(Both of our Middle names).
I would like to know if Native Americans consider it offensive, or in poor taste when Caucasians use Native American names?
We both like the name Dakota, but don't want to name him something that is offensive to others. I am not sure how my wife ended up with the name Dakota, she does not have any extensive Native American ancestry that I am aware of.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
