Matoaka was Pocahontas’ real name, it means beautiful flower between two rivers. Her tribe is still located between the two rivers in Virginia. While Pocahontas might be a problematic name, I think Matoaka is a beautiful name perfect for any little girl. It has an exotic sound yet is easy to spell and pronounce, and you won’t have to worry about her being just another Olivia or Emma.
God, I thought Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily was bad, LOOK AT THIS! This is stupid! Katie: Here! John: Here! Pocahontas: (class roars with laughter) Here!

This name is beautiful, it truly is. Unfortunately, it's bullying material for a typical non-American Indian child. I foresee a lot of stereotypical "war cries" complete with patting on the mouth. You know what I mean.
