What do u think of the name "Sioux" 4 a girl ??

Question

Do u think this name is too odd ?

It could be a different way to spell Sue ...

Answer 1

sorry, but i think thats a pretty odd, unless your friend is angelina jolie of course (haha). i think the baby would kind of resent her name as she gets older :I

congrats for your friend though!!!

Answer 2

Its an unusual spelling on a common name. Not a good choice.

Answer 3

I'm sorry but it makes me think of a French Pastry

Answer 5

No way.  That'd be about as bad as people naming their kid Dakota.  In other words, I find it offensive to the Native American tribe, unless you're friend is actually from that tribe that is.

Answer 6

Honestly, any name that is incredibly difficult for people to pronounce or spell in the country they live in, is not the best choice.

All the best.  

Answer 7

No, I don't think it's too old, and I wouldn't change the spelling.  It's cute and unique as it is.  I like it very much.

Answer 8

Its pretty and different

xx

Answer 9

Don't  like it

Answer 10

I don't think it's too old, but I agree with the answerers who have expressed the idea that it does not make a lot of sense if the baby has no native American heritage.  

Answer 11

I really like it, my friend's middle name is Sioux. I think it's real pretty, definitely if there is meaning behind it (like if you have Sioux in you)

Answer 12

I don't like the name Sue or Sioux. Both too old fashioned.*

Answer 13

I don't like it

Answer 14

I dont like this name at all. I'm from Michigan and it reminds me too much of the Sioux St. Marie. Not a good choice. Sorry.  

Answer 15

i like it, it's a cool name

Answer 16

How about an actual name and not a made-up name?

Answer 17

BAD. BAD BAD BAD!

She is NOT allowed to name her child Sioux.

Yeah I know you think it's cute and all to name kids after Native American tribes. Well, it's not. You obviously have no idea about the rituals that go into naming children Native American names. Well, I'm here to inform you, as a member of the Iroquois Confederacy myself. To name your child after a tribe is incredibly disrespectful. The tribe is seen as a holy thing. She can NOT name her child Sioux. Would you name your child Jesus Christ? No, you wouldn't mess with a person's religion like that. So don't let your friend go stomping on Native American religion just because you think it'd be cute or funky or trendy to give her a Native name. Even if it was an ACCEPTABLE name, (aka not modern bogus like Cheyenne or Dakota or Winona or Sioux, which aren't Native names) she would have to go through a whole tribal ritual of naming her child that name, before she could actually do it.

Please, be a little respectful.

In conclusion, I give Sioux a big thumbs down.

Answer 18

If it is not your heritage, its going to look stupid.

Answer 19

I'm siding with Roxnn, Lisa, and crew on this one: it would be an incredibly difficult and offensive name to have. I know about the Souix tribe and their sad history. I think it's pretty tacky to use it as a name, or just as a 'different' way to spell Sue. If it's not your heritage, it's tasteless. If it is, there are better ways to honor that part of your culture. If you tell someone your name is Souix, they're going to assume it's Sue, and it's short for Susan, Susanne, or Susannah, not like the Souix tribe.

Answer 20

If Sioux Indians mean something to you that's fine, but if not, it'll look silly, sorry

Why not find a different name is Sue is not unique enough?

Answer 21

nah I don't like it.

Answer 22

bad choice

Answer 23

too weird go out and get your friend a baby name book I once gave 1

as a gift because it also explains what names mean which I feel is

very important(p.s. the book smelled like baby powder and she just

loved it)she named baby Jonelle after John anyway though

Answer 24

i think the name Sue looks too old..but Sioux looks like a newer name, and it sounds young and girly. I like it.

Answer 25

Very very unique...

But I didn't learn the pronunciation till I was like 10.

Lots of teasing will come along with it and "Sue" is a boring name spelt weirdly or not.

Answer 26

I feel if you want to use that, you'd be better off with Sue. Try Susanna or something, and nickname her Sue if you want, but your friend needs to be warned that no one will ever spell it right, most likely.

Answer 27

That would be really really bad--don't advise anyone to name their child Sioux please.

Answer 28

How the **** do you pronounce that? Like Sue?? You got to be kidding me that is so weird.

Answer 29

no

Answer 30

It's nasty.  Not only that, if she has no ties to any Native American tribe, it's ridiculous to use a name like that.  Furthermore, Sue is short for Susan, Susannah, and Suzanne.  A nickname is awful as a full name.

Answer 31

I love it, it is so unusual tell your friend to go for it !!!!
