If I told you I had a kid named Indiana would you think I had a son or a daughter?

Just your first impression, not after thinking about it for a while :)

Well, because of Latin, I tend to see words (particularly proper nouns/names) that end in -a to be feminine, so I thought of it as a name for a girl. However, on second thought, I did consider Indiana Jones...

I'd never name a kid after a place. I know a dakota and a nevada (sisters, as well) and I think it's completely stupid to name your kid like that. I've never known a dog named that, but I live in canada. I'd think it's a girl's name, because I think it sounds feminine due to the "ana".

I thought of the state, then Indiana Jones. But if not for him, I would probably think it was a girl's name.

By looking at the answers, it's both, but it should be neither. What's the point of having a unisex name?

I always thought of places as female. eg Mother Earth. And the "-iana" doesn't help the case of it being a boy name. :P

Aside from Indiana Jones, I would never expect that name to actually be used for a human.
