Help[Opinions] English Native American names [long]

Good Lord. I am Native American myself and grew up around a lot of Native Americans, and I cannot recall *anybody* having given names like those!
Persecuted One: do all her family members pick on her? Was that why she was born, to be the scapegoat?
Finished: I think they spoke a bit too soon since they had more kids after him.
Hot Creek Tom, Yankie Bill: They sound like old west outlaws.
Old Woman: Was that he name even as a baby?
Baby: Come on, they can do better than that!

I think they're pretty cool too. My great(x4?) grandma was named Morning Sun.
Good Shield and Walking Leaf are quite interesting.
