Any suggetions on Native American baby names?

I am half American Indian (blackfoot) and would like honor my heritage. But I am having trouble deciding on names.

Any suggetions on Native American baby names?
Beware of most of the posters here, who are obviously unaware that "Native American" covers a wide range of cultures and languages. There is no such thing as a "generic" Native American name. It would not honor your heritage to give your child a Cherokee, Seminole, or Ojibwa name.


Check this site for links to the Blackfoot (Siksika, Pikanni, Kainai) language, names, etc. --

I did a Google search on "baby names native american" and "baby names native american blackfoot" and found tons of sites! You might want to do the same.





A few of my findings from http://www.20000-names.com/female_native...


Koko: night (native american blackfoot name)


Peta: golden eagle (also a blackfoot name)
