==Proper name==
The Born Lakes have been known by various names including: Boone Lakes, Born lakes, and Boorn Lakes.〔 In 1964, the United States Board on Geographical Names proposed that the name "Born Lakes" should be established as the official name. However, in 2009, James Ridenour of Spokane Valley, Washington, submitted a proposal to correct the spelling of "Born Lakes" to "Boorn Lakes", to restore the spelling that appeared on early Federal maps and to properly recognize the intended honoree — Samuel S. Boorn (ca.1840-ca.1900), who staked the first mining claim in Custer County. The name "Boorn Lakes" became official in August 2009.〔 Despite this official name change, the name "Born Lakes" continues to appear on most maps of the region.〔
