who wants to Help me name my scout character? Options

[Lady Saga]

Hello fellow forumites. I am Lady Saga, and today I'd like to ask for your help in naming my future scout character.

He's gonna have a North American woods Indian sort of vibe to him, Cherokee, perhaps. If I were to guess his demeanor, I would say he's more of a peaceful hunter/gatherer type, rather than a warrior.

His "job" will be to scout locations none of my characters have been to yet. I'll be using the paper map to guide him and his horse. Chances are he'll mostly hunt moose and bunnies and peaceful sorts of wildlife. Oh, wolves, too. Maybe bears when he gets really advanced.

I tried going on some Cherokee websites, looking for some simple names. Believe it or not this is harder than it sounds. All of these websites want money, or want you to buy a book or something. Or they don't have what I'm looking for.

The best I can come up with so far is Fleeted Foot and Eagle Scout, but I wanna get more ideas. It helps to have your character's name planned out before actually creating him or her, I've found. In the past I used to start creating characters. Oops! What should I name him or her? Next thing you know I'm stuck! Naming is very important for me.

So I take it you are not looking for a tongue-in-cheek name like Sc^ut's Ho~or? But rather a straight, RL Native American name? I have a list of some Native names that I have used in the past, a few are Cherokee, most are a mix of all tribes.

Adahy is a Cherokee name meaning "In the woods" (Grits ninjaed me on that one)
Ahmik = "The beaver", a symbol of skill
Apenimon = trusty
Bemossed = the walker
Chankoowashtay = Good Road
Chayton = falcon
Dyami = an eagle
Gomda = wind
Hache-hi = wolf
Honon = bear
Igasho = a wanderer
Kangee = raven
Kele = sparrow hawk
Kibbe = the night bird
Knoton = the wind
Kohana = swift
Kuruk = bear
Langundo = peaceful
Mikasi = coyote
Mingan = grey wolf
Namid = the star dancer
Tokala = fox
Wilny = eagle singing while flying
