LLLore : Naming Conventions

Added 2020-12-18 00:30:58 +0000 UTC

Each tribe has it's own naming conventions and traditions. I made sure to come up with all of the conventions first, so all of the new characters I create will fit in with the proper names... and also, I hope that by sharing the conventions people might be inspired to create their own someday!

NAMING CONVENTIONS_______________________________________________________

TIGERS
Names have one syllable
First name = chosen by their father
Last name = “son of…” or “daughter of…” followed by their father’s name
Example: Ru son of Wei, Ko daughter of Long, Poe son of Rin

LIONS
Names have two syllables
First name = chosen after birth and the parents get to see their child
Last name = none
Example: Muna, Navid, Faris

PANTHERS
Names have three syllables
First name = a list of names in use/not in use is kept. Names are chosen from what is available
Last name = none

MOUSE
Names have repeating letters
First name = parents choose several names then let the child pick one
Last name = none

JACKALS
Names are traits that their parents hope their children will embody, though spelled with their mountain dialect.
First name = names are traits that parents want their kids to have

FALCONS
Male names end with O. Female names end with A. Neutral names end with I.
First name = usually a name traditionally used in their family
Last name = their father’s name prefixed by D’ meaning “of”

CROCODILES
Named after objects.
First name = as toddlers they are named after whatever object they become fixated on.
