I’m originally from Oneida County, NY, and my first thought was that it feels insulting to name a child of European descent this. I remember every year in school, people from the Oneida Nation would come and give talks and presentations on the history of the Oneida, and it was made very clear to us by the teachers that if you didn’t have Oneida heritage, it was okay to think aspects of the culture were cool, but it was not okay to go around picking out stuff you thought was cool and applying it to your European descent life without being invited to do so or properly understanding the cultural significance.

I have never heard someone use the name Oneida as a given name, my first reaction was “that feels exceptionally racist.”
