Indian names, let's see? There was Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse of national
recognition and names around here like Pocahontas(Just teasing) But there was
her dad, Powhatan. There are names like Chinquapin, Occoquan (named after
a river)
and there are all kinds. here is a name that is partial to New England,
"Pennichuck" There are all kinds, start by looking in your public library
on books on Indians, so you don't have to buy them or get bored with a silly
search engine that probably list all kinds on nonsense trash next to the
subject you are looking for.
