Re: help me with a name?
Hi,
Actually you can use almost anything that has to do with nature. Lonewolf, Two bears, Standing Bear, Ten Bears, Grey Wolf, Black Elk, Little Elk, etc. etc.etc.
You can also use English last names and describe your character as Indian through description and actions.

In 1890 the Commissioner of Indian Affairs ordered all the Cherokees ( my people) to be given Christian last names and their surnames be translated into English and shortened if they were too long. This is just a friendly FYI. *BigSmile*

Have fun with your character. I love the name Amita *ThumbsUpR*
