Hey, I would really like to know if this name is okay! My friend, Genesis helped come up with it :D

It follows the rules, that's fine :)
but what's the meaning? Or it is a creation?

My friend told me she liked the name Kat'tya, so I just modified it a bit, then I looked at the alphebet pronunciation table and picked out a few of my favorite letters for the second half :)
So it's all just kind of random haha unless it has a meaning I don't know about.

Dreams die first because people give them up so easily...

No, a name never has to mean something (although many people choose that option). It's perfectly fine as long as it follows the rules - which I also think it does. :)

Welcome to you! :D

Check out this page and this document for the grammar part (use this first if you're confused) ; here are the Na'vi lines of the movie, if ever you'd like to learn with them ; and don't forget the Project NgayNume and the Neytiri Project, which are two different interactive ways of learning.

Hope you have fun with us :)

Irayo! Everyone makes me feel so welcome here ^^
It's a lot nicer than any forum site I've been on :3

You have no idea! ;D Here's the quote that summarizes it all (with which we've all agreed) ;)

It also seems to me to follow all the rules of Na'vi word shapes.

However, as in English (and Russian, and ...), Na'vi words don't have a predictable stress accent.  Which syllables should we accenting in your name — we wouldn't want to acCENT your name on the wrong sylLABLEs.  :)

From time to time, but not too often.  It was a bigger issue when the film first came out.

Haha that's something my English teacher always said when we sucked at pronouncing things XD

How bout I spell it phonetically and I'll capitalize the parts I stress?

Your name follows the phonotactical rules and all that, so it's a good enough name.  :)
