:meowsip:Okies, first things first, Dakota Fanning is American. Thus, not European. And thus, discounted as an example. It is btw her middle name.

Even then, you can argue that she and the state by extension are clearly named after the Dakota, the Indian tribe that was once living in the Dakota territory.

:meowsip: Now, secondly, Virginia Woolf, full name Adeline Virginia Woolf, which means Viriginia once again a middle name.

In this case, the name Virginia is of Latin origin and means virgin. In fact, we have the legend of the girl Virginia was who was killed by her father in order to save her from seduction by a corrupt government official.

It's perfectly fine to say and point out. @Assurbanipal_II

But it's these words "Source? Trust me?"
THAT. That is what makes you a piece of shit.
And that is also the reason I am going to tell you to fuck off and not talk to me
because I am not in the mood for your shit today.
I am putting you on ignore now, so stay the fuck away from me.

The name and its derivatives were then used in many European languages throughout the ages. Eventually, the name was given as a title to Queen Elizabeth I, also known as ‘the Virgin Queen’.

It was during her reign that an expedition into the new world was financed. The ‘newly’ discovered regions were named in honour of her ‘Virginia’.
