hey i've been researching native american names but i feel like they don't fit my character very well, she's a really strong warrior who uses verbal magic/spells. she has a british father and was raised in england

Hi, Darcy! I'd love to help you! Naming is so hard for me all the time lol. Can you give me a little more insight into her personality?

I have researched some names that I believe might appeal. I hope these help!

100% honest. One of my native ancestors names was Strutting Rooster.

I feel like Im saying this a lot but I use this website to find names/ descriptions.
the website actually has a specific generator for it so ill just leave that here.

thank you guys so much this helps a lot!!!!

The only thing I might suggest is maybe look at names by tribe, and specify her lineage? It might make things more realistic, and help people get a better idea of her culture, because no two tribes are exactly the same.

yeah, i was thinking of making her cherokee, but that's like the most well known so idk

never mind, i chose the name Tehya and apparently it's from the Chippewa tribe, so that will be her heritage
