I'm a big lover of humans...not because they're 'easy' to RP, but because they aren't. Humans don't have a culture, per se, but I've made one up for myself so that's what I use to RP...not how humans of earth are now, but how my version of humans of Haelrahv are.
This post is not about that...I have semi-novels on the human boards about that.
This post is about other races and their names. Recently, I rolled up an Eolai just to have one...and I noticed that there's a namegen on the CM now. And all Eolai names seem to follow a strict guideline. Names begin with vowels, and end in vowels or 'k' or 'f.'
Alteri names are very Chinese with W and X.
I've never made a Jaddan...
Darju names remind me of slavic languages with lots of constinants together...
So maybe we can get a pronunciation guide and perhaps some common first and last names for the races? I'm just curious. _________________ "I reject your reality and substitute my own!" -- Adam Savage

Just so you know, you don't have to be in the CM to see sample names, NAMEGEN <racename> works IG. _________________ ~Hunter~ |

Also, just so you know, the CM namegen has been there for as long as I can remember - which goes back to pre-beta. _________________ Counselor Faith Tempest

Yeah, but I've never rolled up anything other than human, so I had no idea. _________________ "I reject your reality and substitute my own!" -- Adam Savage

Since we just had a meeting about this, I figured I'd give this thread a bump and paste the pamphlet Morrigan was so great to have prepared for us.
