I named my Miqo'te during open beta before I knew I was going to preorder the game. Then, after I'd gotten interested in the game and decided to buy it and RP in it, I read about the lore and found out about Miqo'te naming conventions. I didn't want to reroll the character though, so I got creative and created Otte's background around his unconventional name. His birth name was V'otte Tia, but because of personal reasons he has left the tribe, and threw away the tribe letter when he joined an Arcanist guild in Limsa Lominsa. He picked his own surname, thinking Dreamwalker sounds grandiose and eccentric, which in his eyes is perfect for someone practising arcane arts. But usually he only introduces himself as Otte.
So, my ramblings aside, it's all about being creative and having a reason for unconventional name, as others have said many times before me.
