Baby Name Poll Results

This is a what-if situation for us. As Lakota people, we really value names in our language, despite the fact that they might be different/challenging for English Speakers. Čhetáŋ is both a word for and a name that means Hawk. It is, at times, writen into English as Chaytan, which we feel is more English friendly via names like Shea and Shay, but also might remind people of the word Satan. Chetan might be closer to the original pronunciation of the name. This is an internal debate I have in my mind now and then (I'm not even expecting a boy and this is a male name),but I appreciate your input.
