    Wow, uh, okay. Did not realize that. Mostly I was thinking in terms of existing character H'raha Tia, the MNK 60 boss, who is literally one letter off. I know the pool is finite, but that still seems careless to me.

    I think someone in the writing team might just like the name Raha. It's used (as O'raha) for one of the "construction examples" in the naming conventions guide as well.

    As I mentioned earlier, from the "complete list of name-generator names" that I linked, it seems that it's not a name you could actually get out of the generator program. It's from the female surname list (female surnames actually being their father's name) which is separate from the list of male forenames and doesn't just repeat the same names over again.

    It's probably just safe to assume that Raha is a super common Miqo'te name.
