What's in a name?


DAKOTA is a Native American name that means "friend, ally".

Extended definitions of her name are:

Character - A person with strong self esteem
Feelings - Shows affection readily
Inherent - You are known for your sense of humour
Intellect - Knowledgeable
Motivation - Has a conviction in life
Spiritual - Has hope and trust
Nature - Is a disciplined person

Another meaning we found on the internet some time after she was born is “forever smiling”.

It's amazing how already we can see her developing most of these characteristics.

Her middle name is Lily which means "flower".

The flower posted above is a wild lily found in North Dakota - a "Dakota Lily".
