Hrothgar naming conventions?

Do we know yet what the naming conventions of Hrothgar are? Planning to make one and settling on a name always takes ages for me. So if I could get the agonising part out of the way early! :D

Old Norse is a safe assumption both from their namesake and from the Ronso, but no, we don't know anything about their culture.

Personally I'd expect nothing official about the Hrothgar or Viera (besides what's already in the game) until the Benchmark.

'Old Norse' has already been claimed by Dragons.

I'd lean more towards modern 'Nordic', or perhaps Tibetan roots.

The only naming convention rule they have is that every name must have a cat related pun.

What I wanna know is, who will be the lucky player to make Kimahri Ronso, without any added punctuation.

Here you go. Just one fantasia away come 5.0.

Give their general look, build, movements... I'd say they should all be named, Kratos.

Without knowing anything about them...

My first instinct would be to separate them into two tribes like every other race in the game - cats and dogs (cheetah/leopard/lion and wolf). I would posit the feline variety have African names due to big cats' cultural association with the continent, while the canines have Native American names due to popular culture often associating them with Native Americans. (Tibetan would make sense given their inspiration comes from X's Ronso, but we already know the Hrothgar on the first are called Ronso and so likely have that bit down pat.)

Unfortunately, their racial name having Norse etymology throws a wrench into all of this... so maybe none of the above. Maybe something wholly original like the Lalafell and Roegadyn. Who's to say?

The name is spelled wrong though, the H is in the wrong spot.
