My name means "fierce anger". But I already knew that. 
Kali is also an Indian goddess who sometimes has vampiric tendencies... I'm not angry, but I can be pretty fierce if I do say so myself. 
It has a nice ring to it too.

We are so much more complicated than our names.

I use this site sometimes if I am looking for a name for my characters. ^^ I have also found that some words don't work, but some of the names it gives me are pretty sweet.

yeah, I've seen this link in some artists' galleries on TLKFAA. I usually use Kamusi Project though.
http://www.kamusiproject.org
there's some Swahili names that are more popular than others. if you search the characters on TLKFAA, there's names that get tons of results and some that you might only find a few or one
