At first she covered for her, but when Pocahontas snuck off with him a second time, she feared for her safety and sent Kocoum after them. After Smith was captured, Nakoma helped Pocahontas gain access to see him.

Most baby name sites state that the meaning of Nakoma is 'great warrior or great spirit' but I'm not certain how accurate the information is. The usually reliable Behind the Name states that it is Chippewa for "I do as I promise." Nakoma was given to 5 boys in 1995 and 7 girls in 1996.

Melody

In The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, Princess Melody was the daughter of Princess Ariel and Prince Eric. As a baby, she was threatened by Morgana, the sister of Ursula, so her parents built a sea wall around their castle and did everything to keep Melody from the sea. They hid her Atlantica roots from her. Melody couldn't resist the pull of the ocean, however, and she went off in search of answers. Morgana found her, and used Ursula's magic to temporarily turn her into a mermaid. She then tricked Melody into stealing King Triton's trident for her. After she gave the trident to Morgana, she realized her mistake. She turned back into a human while Morgana was focused on making the merfolk bow down to her. Melody was able to snatch the trident from Morgana and return it to King Triton, who imprisoned Morgana in ice. King Triton offered Melody the choice of staying human or coming to live in Atlantica with him. Melody chose to remove the sea wall instead, so they could all be together.

Melody Keep was a character in the Disney comic book series Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird. She was born into a family of wardens who were responsible for protecting supernatural artifacts. Her parents owned a shop called Keep it Weird, and she was a member of the school's lacrosse team. She had a brother named Maxwell.

Sullivan

In Pixar's Monsters, Inc and Monsters University, James P Sullivan, commonly known as Sulley, came from a alternate world where monsters used children's screams to create electricity. Sulley was a member of a well known scaring family. He attended Monsters University, but he did not have a very good work ethic. After an incident involving Mike Wazowski and Dean Hardscrabble, he was kicked out of the scaring program. He joined the Oozma Kappa fraternity with Mike and they competed in the Scare Games in an attempt to get back into the program. Fearing that Mike would make the team lose, Sulley cheated in the last event and they were both expelled. They both got jobs in the mailroom at Monster's, Inc and eventually worked their way up the ladder. Sulley became one of the top scarers in the company. While at Monsters, Inc, He accidentally allowed a human girl, whom he called Boo, into their world. While trying to get Boo home, Sulley and Mike exposed a plot by Randall and the CEO Henry J Waternoose III to use a scream extractor on children to boost production. However, during their time with Boo, they discovered that children's laughter provided much more power than their screams, saving the company.

Sullivan is an Irish surname that means "dark eyes." The Sullivan Clan was based in south-west Ireland, and their motto was "The Steady Hand to Victory."  In 2014, Sullivan was the 463rd most popular name for boys. There were also 49 girls named Sullivan in 2014. I think the nickname Sulley would be a great pet name.

Ursula

In The Little Mermaid, Ursula was a sea witch who wanted revenge on King Triton. She offered his daughter, Ariel, the chance to become human in order to find her true love, Prince Eric. The contract stipulated that in exchange for her voice, Ariel had three days as a human. If Eric gave her true love's kiss within that time, she would permanently become human. If not, she would be bound to Ursula forever. When it appeared that Ariel would succeed, Ursula transformed herself into a woman, and put Eric under a spell, and convinced him that she was his true love, not Ariel. The enchantment was broken, but not in time for Eric to kiss Ariel. Ursula took Ariel prisoner, and King Triton offered himself and his trident in exchange for her freedom. Ariel and Eric fought back, and Eric succeeded in killing Ursula, freeing King Triton and the other merfolk that Ursula cursed over the years. Ursula had a sister named Morgana.

In ABC's Once Upon a Time, Ursula was once like Ariel.. a mermaid with a beautiful singing voice. She was the daughter of Poseidon, god of the sea. Ursula's mother was killed by pirates, and Poseidon used Ursula's voice to lure pirate ships towards dangerous rocks. Ursula tried to run away with the help of Captain Hook, but ultimately he helped Poseidon by using an enchanted shell to take her singing voice. In a rage, Ursula used her father's trident to turn herself into the sea monster she became. Ursula, along with Cruella DeVil, was swept into our world before the first curse when Snow White and Prince Charming took Maleficient's egg so the sorcerer's apprentice could ensure their child would be good. Ursula initially teamed up with Rumpelstiltskin to find the author, but Captain Hook reunited father and daughter and Ursula got her singing voice back.
