Native American names (U.S. only)

Hi !!!

How is the situation about traditional names among Native Americans in U.S.A.?

Are they still used? Which are more popular than others?

What about the historical names like Tȟašúŋke Witkó (Crazy Horse), Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake (Sitting Bull), Sacagawea, Tisquantum (Squanto) or Pocahontas?

Are they good for children?

Or also fictional... Tiger-Lily, Tex, Tiger-Jack, Little-Creek, Kenai ...

I don't know... Is there any trend?

For example using Sioux, Navajo or Cherokee names because they are the biggest tribes (also if people are from other ones)?

Or let me think... hippie-style names are more used in this case?

Tell me all you know!
