Amatakka Names
In DAV 4 - The Slave Who Makes Free we have Imer Moonspinner, Grandmother Nittu, Tarrok the Togruta Runaway, Beru Whitesun, Myana, the oldest of the Twi’lek children hiding on Ord Mantell, and Bentu Rockstrider. Fialleril's Children of the Desert adds Amee, Melee, Wald, Seek, Imer and Denak Moonspinner, and Waru and Parin.
In the Desert Storm Series (first part of the Ben Naasade Saga) we have the Skywalkers (Omi, Anakin, Ji-Kest, Luke, Shmi, Nuna), the Whitesuns (Beru, Kania), the Sandseas (Terena, Kereth), and Ma Jira.
Jira, Beru, Luke, Anakin, and Shmi are of course from the official verse, where we also see the Darklighter family (Anya, Biggs, Dera, Gavin, Huff, Jula, Lanal, Rasca, Silya, and Trepler), the Marstraps (Kai, Camie, Windy), Hala, Amee, Jenna, Janek Sunber, Haro Whitesun, Dama Whitesun, Deak, etc
Finally, LEGO Star Wars gives us Kordi, Zander, and Rowan Freemaker.
These names are fascinating. @fialleril has written about it here. And then there's Shmi's wonderful self-introduction in @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning's story Ruin:
“I am called many things by many beings,” [Shmi] declares quietly, but firmly. “But I am Shmi Ekkreth, She Who Walks the Sky and Sees the Way. My face is Ekkreth’s face, and my heart is Ar-Amu’s heart, and I am Amavikka, as was my mother before me, as will be my children after me. I would tell you a story. Will you hear it?”
So I come to the conclusion that Amatakka names usually include one part in Amatakka (Shmi, Anakin, Ji-Kest, Lukka,...) and one part in Basic that means something in relation to the stories (the stories that will save your life).
