I know Lalafell have an incredibly in-depth guide on naming conventions over here, but I don't believe Miqo'te have ever had an official one.
I think the general consensus (For Sunseekers, at least) was that traditional miqo'te names involve having a short to long given name, with an apostrophe in place after the first letter. Their surname, on the other hand, is usually very short. Moonkeepers, on the other hand, have very short given names that are usually 3~4 letters long, and their surnames are just a very long garble of letters,(I.E Koh Lenbalalako, Jakoh Wahcondalo, etc) as has been mentioned above.
It was the same as it was in XI for Mithra, so there's lots of examples there for females. However, the only male Mithra we saw in XI had sort of a short name overall, that being Lehko Habhoka. So, XIV might have similar naming conventions to XI, but we really can't know for certain.
Now, this is a quote from Fernahalwes that will answer your question, just not right now, unfortunately.
"As for naming conventions, you won't have to wait for ARR's release for those, as we hope to have a comprehensive guide out sometime during before or right after the launch of Beta. It will cover all 5 races (including both clans and both sexes) and should include a Roegadyn dictionary to help those looking to make a Sea Wolf."
So, that should be coming out relatively soon. In fact, the thread can be found here, and I would suggest you bump it up and ask if this will in fact be coming out soon, as the last post was made last year and beta came out recently.
Lastly, having a Miqo'te doesn't necessarily mean you need a traditional Miqo'te name. There is a large variety of circumstances that could lead to your Miqo'te having a name with more Hyuran roots, etc. It really just depends on how they were raised.
For example, I've been toying with the idea of retconning my character to Miqo'te, and if I were to do so I would keep my Hyur name and surname. However, that would simply be because half of his ancestors had long since acclimated to a more modern society and dropped the tribal conventions to adopt a more modern namesake.
I'd suggest naming your character what you want to name them, or simply waiting for the official guide to be released. That's just my two cents, though.
