Unfortunately, it was not uncommon for Cherokee leaders to use many different names and titles (Attacullaculla used more than eleven), and it would not be unthinkable for Oconostota to have used Standing Turkey or Stalking Turkey, as it is associated with members of his family, and was traditional to take the title of an esteemed predecessor. It is possible that there were as many as three different people all using variations of this title (although none of them would have been at the same time). This is the case with the name Moytoy, distinguished usually by "the younger / the elder" or "Moytoy I / Moytoy II."
