WHOA WHOA WHOA TIME OUT.
1. Only tribal Seeker of the Sun societies have the tia/nunh roles.
2. "Nunh" is nothing more than a distinction bestowed upon certain Seeker males by Seeker females that they are fit for breeding. There is no leadership, tribal dominance, or anything of the sort inherent in the "nunh" role; it just so happens that the nunh of the U tribe in the Main Story Quest happens to find himself in both the nunh and the leadership role.
3. "Tia" is basically the default role/title/name for Seeker males who are not yet acknowledged as Nunh, i.e. not fit to breed. The whole concept has some symmetry with African lions - again, minus the leadership and tribal dominance aspects.
4. If a Miqo'te character is not of a tribal culture, doesn't adhere to a tribal culture, or doesn't acknowledge their heritage in any way, then they most likely wouldn't use either "nunh" or "tia". You'll see plenty of "urbanized" Seekers without these.
5. That said, there's nothing stopping an urban Seeker from becoming infatuated with tribal culture and taking it upon themselves to adopt either "Tia" or "Nunh" as their name. I've met quite a few roleplayers who've done just that.
EDIT: I got ninja'd within a mere minute. That was fast. I'm too slow #sonic
