Actually, tribal names are not evocative of some trait, but are given according to names held by a particular clan. For example, Crazy Horse's horse wasn't crazy, nor did he act like one. In fact, many natives in my circle would haul my ashes for using the sacred name on the net. You should have seen what happened when a beer company tried to use that name. He's incredibly revered.
But perhaps LEP could speak with the Film Sprocket family, holders of the sacred cannisters. "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
Another interesting facit, names do not denote someone, they are a part of someone like an arm or leg. In many native cultures, one does not use the name of someone who's just passed away, for s/he shouldn't be distracted on the next part of hir journey.

Probably apocryphal.... You can't be me, I'm taken
