The only thing that makes me think twice about that is that in an interview my grandfather did with a WPA worker, he talked about how Choctaws very seldom took a literal translation of their Choctaw names; other tribes often did, but not usually Choctaws. Of course, that doesn't mean they never did, so it's quite possible those started out as vbi, or some variation of vbi. So maybe Sixkiller started out as Untuklotubbe or something like that.
