Fantasias are appearance-only, unfortunately. However, I think it'd be perfectly fine to have had your character take up an "alter ego" name. There could even be a story behind it you could play with. A former Nunh (if Seeker, which I'm assuming since you mentioned a tribe) that got defeated by a challenging Tia, and was embarrassed to the point that they left - or, on the flipside, a Tia who wanted to leave the tribe to start a splinter that never got off the ground. Or even just a tribesman who was more interested in urban life and took on the new name to better "fit in."
There's plenty of ways to work with it.
