I have returned from the void called "real life"!

Hey, I've been gone for a while. But, I have returned from the mysterious world known as "Real Life"...
Things have been going great while I was away., I even got a new boyfriend, and he's way better than the last. We really click. But the biggest news is that I'm finally getting off my ass and making a fursuit. My mom is always yelling at me for having so much faux fur around that I don't even use. So I set out to change that. I took one of my nicest furs, a tan color with dark blue tips on the hairs, and have made about 1/3 of the mask already. It will be a partial, and I'm quite proud of how well it's turning out. I have one ear completely done, a lower jaw that will even move a little when I talk, and the other unfurred ear. I'm doing really well. The fursona is also really unique. I'm going to post artwork of him soon, but until then, I'll just leave a description.
The fursona is a bat, who has yet to be named. His specific bat species is a Hoary Bat. His fur is tan, though rather than the silver-frosted fur of the Hoary Bat, he has dark blue in place of the silver. The wing membrane is dark blue as well. He has entirely black eyes, kind of in a creepy way, and his wings are different from the rest. The bat is a shaman, much like in Native American or Aztec culture, and thus has to perform sacrifices now and then. He sacrificed his wings and ability to fly for a powerful spirit that was harmful to others. His wings are now very short. The webbing and digits of the wings are short, while blackened bone of the wings remains spouting through the ends of his digits. He wears Native American jewelry, including two bracelets with a bone arrowhead on each, and a necklace with a carved claw made of horn. The horn claw is made of real horn, and the arrowheads are made of real bone, but everything else is probably plastic. I have the jewelry already made, strung it together myself, while the necklace was bought from a nice Native American style gift shop.
I can’t wait to show you guys the finished head and such things, but until then, expect artwork of the bat.
ATTENTION!!!
I forgot to mention, I have a bit of a contest I’m trying to run. The bat described above still needs a name, after all, and I would like you guys to help me pick it out. Here are the things that will play into which name I will choose.
1. How good the name sounds. The name must be fitting enough, and not too ridiculous to pronounce. I can pronounce a little tiny bit of Aztec, but don’t expect me to pick a name that isn’t longer than a name like Tlaloc.
2. The name’s meaning. If the name you suggest has a meaning that translates to something good or fitting, such as “Wind”, “Bat” or “Spirit”, then I will be more likely to choose it.
3. This next one is more of a rule. Don’t give me more than three suggestions, as I want people to have a chance. I don’t know why, but I feel like giving people more of a chance to pick.
