[Opinions] Re: People use Cheyenne, Dakota, etc. (m)
I said widely accepted because those names are relatively common. I am 1/4 Cherokee and not personally a fan of using names of ethnic groups, but there are too many little Dakotas and Cheyennes running around for me to get upset every time someone uses those names. So Roma--especially since it can be interpreted as a reference to the city of Rome (and thus likened to London and Paris more than Cheyenne and Dakota)--doesn't particularly bother me, either.But don't get me started on people who butcher the spellings . Shyanne? That makes me angry.Thank you! It's awesome that you like Zimri. ^_^Edit: Haha, OMG. I had no idea Cherokee was in the database.
