I'm Cherokee and grew up in Oklahoma, there's a lot of us and other tribes in that area. (Generally, we call ourselves Indians if we're not specifying our tribal affiliation, but I understand that can be confusing for non-US residents who might mistake the term for people from India.)
I don't actually know many Native American names. I do have a cousin named Tiana, which at the time she was born was claimed to be a name in the Cherokee language. I don't know what it means, though I think I did once, and I have seen the name used on non-Indian girls since, so who knows?
