I'd bet my bottom dollar that this name will appear in the Australian top 100 for this year. I'm seeing it every where. In the paper there is at least one a week.
Now I doubt in America her popularity will rise to as greater heights as in Australia due to the state. But I might be wrong - how many little Dakota's are there?
Indiana
She is a unisex American name meaning land of Indians and is famously worn by everybodys favourite George Lucas character Indiana Jones. I don't mind it - I prefer it on a boy though. That's probably because of Indiana Jones. Regardless, its use on girls has become vastly popular here in Perth.

i prefer Indianna with two 'n's. does any one else haha i just googled it and it seems everyone used 1 n. must be individually me, and i prefer it for a boy
But Indiana was the name of the Dog! :D
Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones Jr. (I'm quite a lot of fangirl, Harrison Ford & I share a birthday).
I could happily name a boy Henry Walton MacK- and nn him Indy, but not Indiana for real. I've driven through Indiana, the state (Yank, yes). My gods, I thought I was going to die of boredom (And don't ask me about driving through Texas, that was a nightmare, for sure)!
But never Indiana on a girl. ewww. Name a girl India or Indira and nn her Indy, if you must. But please, not Indiana itself. It's an okay state, but I'm glad I don't live there.
I totally agree i think choose india rather than Indiana for a girl. India is way cuter and more of a girl name. As far as In names go for boys i dont mind Indiana but why not Indigo or other in names
Indeed, Laura! I'm a sucker for India and have it in the middle of at least 2 of our top combos, but I'm thinking about using it up front. I'm slowly throwing out the "Cohesive sibset" thought since the one we're trying for will without a doubt be our last (I'm hoping Josie won't be the last).
India nn Indy is lovely!
I don't care if Indiana was used for a male in a fictional story. I have always found it ridiculous on a male. It ends in -ana for goodness sakes. How much more feminine can it get. Am I the only one that sees this. Long before the George Lucas saga, it was occassionally used for females of indigenous heritage. Indiano being the masculine form.
There was a novel written by George Sand concerning a female character named Indiana http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_(novel)(1832)
