Native American vs. Middle Names vs. For Boy

hi! my husband and I are struggling with names. We don't have any clue for the first name yet because we will base it off of what goes well with the middle name. I am Native American and want to carry on the tradition of giving a native middle name to our son. In the comments below I'll tell our current ideas with their meaning, as that is important in our culture. Also, please leave us any first name suggestions to pair with MN. Thank you!

What tribe do you belong to? If you are Native American - and belong to either a state or federally recognized tribe - use names from your tribe.

Several tribes, all the names are from tribes I have connection to.

My favorites are Takoda, Ahanu, Elsu, Cheveyo.
I think it would be neat to connect his name to when he's born. Say he's born in the nighttime with the moon out, a 'moon' name would be special, as a 'sun' name if he's born during the day.

Levi Takoda
Felix Elsu
Asa Ahanu
Isaiah Cheveyo
Ira Honiahak
Chance Honaw
Cade Notaku

Takoda Ahanu
Chayton Ki'somma
