I don't necessarily think of the Sioux tribe with the name Dakota except for the fact that the reservations are in the state of South Dakota. My family is Sioux and the correct name for the tribe is Lakota, not Dakota. It seems on the SSA baby site, it's actually been in the top 1000 names for boys since 1985, while for girls it didn't become popular until 1990. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dakota-boygirlthoughts/page/2#post-1461123 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 08:25:07 +0000 Synchronicity 1461123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Dakota Fanning, so girl. I don't mind the name although I've heard it used more often on pets (dogs and horses) recently than babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dakota-boygirlthoughts/page/2#post-1461065 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 06:51:30 +0000 Anya 1461065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like it for a girl </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dakota-boygirlthoughts/page/2#post-1461034 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 02:04:14 +0000 Crystal 1461034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dakota-boygirlthoughts/page/2#post-1461032 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 01:57:48 +0000 sunny 1461032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its feminine sounding with the -a ending.
