What's that? His name isn't traditionally appropriate? Pfft, that's because most of you can't even pronounce our names right. This is close enough for you.
I consider his real name to be K'Swhift Tia, but after leaving his tribe some of the, um, work he's done he picked up being called Nightclaw and took it as a name. As for his first name? Swift is essentially how it's going to sound when pronounced by non-miqo'te.
Also, I would note for folks debating this:
"In colloquial speech amongst close friends and companions, sometimes the tribe letter will be dropped from the first name."

This is, quite honestly, brilliant! Â I love it!
Thanks! ^_^
My friend had a mithra named Swift in FF XI but I picked up the name from a character we're creating for a comic series we've been discussing. He's making his miqo'te with "Swift" as the last name.
We're debating getting more complicated in my miqo'te (male) and his (female) being siblings with the son/father names being variations of one another (K'Swihft and K'Swhift). Siblings with opposite paths in life and intense sibling rivalry with her being a paladin and him, eventually, being a ninja.Â
Ironically, he likes thinking of a bit of personality and background to his characters, but doesn't RP. Hehe
