What is a good name to go with warrior for a character name?
If you mean a native American warrior (as opposed to a Chinese warrior, an ancient Greek warrior or a Zulu warrior), you must first specify exactly which part of the Americas and which specific tribe you want the warrior to belong to. That will dictate the language of his name and the kind of name he might have. Native Americans did not have names in English.

Crow warriors (Montana) - Ishtuwatash (One Eye), Iispeelatchish (Raven Face), Buattaaxalushish(Running Coyote), Basuukosh (Goes Ahead).
Cheyenne - Mo'ohtaenahkohe (Black Bear), Va'kohe'hamehe (Bobtail Horse), O'xeesehe (Cut Nose), Ho'neoxhaa'eho'oesêstse (High Wolf).
Shawnee - Se-pet-te-ke-na-the (Big Rabbit), Paytakootha (Flying Clouds), Hokoleskwa (Stalk of Corn).
Cree - Maskipitôn (Broken Arm), Mistahi-maskwa(Many Bears), Sâkêwêw (He Comes Into View), Okimâwikâpâwiw (Stands Like A Chief).
