Native american names help?
real native names are prayed for and reflect your inner spirit.





for the school project choose something that will reflect the type of person that you wish to be.





for example my native name (given my Medicine Eaglebear)


is





Hehaka Wachipi Nagin Chen or (Elkstar Standingtree)


(cannot remember the proper spelling for Elk in the Lakota dialect right now. )


and it does represent me.





the Elk, strength and determination


the Star, I am Pagan afterall and stars have great signifigance to me





Standing tree. protection and strength. also un-moveable.





my friend Wind Dancing is much like a leaf blowing in the wind, never still for a minute. and will take any opportunity to dance or make music. (only woman that i know that always has a device to make music with on her at all times)
Reply:First you need to pick a Nation or tribe, as the names are different in style and lettering dependant upon the region they are originating from. Don't just get all stereotype. That gets ugly when you run into a real Native American who happens to be on legal retainer.





But once you pick a region or Nation, then go with something that tickles you on the fancy.





I really happen to like Kicking Chicken or She Who Kicks Chickens, but that happens to just make me laugh.


Find something that describes you flawlessly.


Got a Hobby that you can not live without?


Running, Jumping, Dancing, Screaming


Is there an animal that you identify with?


A stance you always take?





It's ultimately up to you.
Reply:The ideas offered here are good.


Essentially, you want to take two main things about you and merge them together. One of them would tend to be how you are with the world, how you impact it. The other is how the world impacts you, how it affects you.





1.) I am a writer, I give the world stories and lessons.


2.) I am often challenged in this world, so I am made strong through its many challenges - I always persevere.





1.) Story Teller


2.) Warrior / "brave" (as most tribes called them)





1 + 2 = Story Teller Brave





Then mix it, so it sounds right: Brave Story





Hi, I'm Brave Story





See?
Reply:Well...over the last few years I have been gently guided to understand some things...including the fact that names are considered sacred or whatnot. Not like most of our names, where our parents picked it because it sounded nice. They are much deeper and more personal then that.





Although if it's for school and you *have* to...aka this assignment isn't your doing... then I suggest thinking deep about it and deciding what really fits who you are, like others above are suggesting. (And not just what sounds good.) What are you made of, what are your passions, what are your talents, who are you?





One note...


*It is advised not to use actual known family names*








If you just find that you can't possibly come up with anything...look up what your own first name is supposed to mean. That meaning is one you were given at birth.
Reply:I had to do that once and I picked old buffalo. It has stuck for years. Pick something melodic or flattering, like MoonWalker, Running Bear, or Bright Star.
Reply:Just think of something that describes you. Are you moody? Raging Thundercloud. Are you daring? Moon Hunter. Are you frightening? Fierce Bear.





Anything with nature should work, since the Native Americans were very connected to nature.
