Hrothgar naming conventions?

[PogueX]

Hrothgar sounds nordic, but if your thinking about tigers and big cats, in general, would make more sense to have India or Mediterranean names

It comes from a Danish king that ruled in the 500s. Humorously, his name was translated in some stories as Roe.

Side note, but we know from Yoshida that they have a lupine head that wasn't ready to be shown, in addition to the feline and Ronso heads that were.

That was talking about concept development before they decided on the final template for Hrothgar, the translation didn't make that clear.

It kinda depends on what the two 'clans' are.

If it's canine heads for one clan, and feline heads for the other, then I expect Wolfies will have Nordic names, and Cats will get something Indian/Tibetan.

So... Err... Somewhat off topic, but will Hrothgar naming conventions be the same as Ronso naming conventions? Ditto for the other races... Surely those on the First should have different naming conventions, I mean their races have different names so their names must be different too, right? Is this a can of worms that we'll see opened at any point?

The second Encyclopedia Eorzea already opened it by saying that Arbert and his group were using assumed names to blend in with Eorzeans. How far they want to take that is up in the air, but the Mystel at least should be completely different from the Miqo'te, since the [tribe]'[name] pattern only spread because of the Calamity of Ice.

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

I already made a Mega Lopunny for Viera :P

Looks like Hrothgar will have Norse inspired names if their queen Gunnhildr is any indication.

With the ShB promotional site up, we finally know something about Hrothgar. They hail from Illsabard and are the origin of Gunbreakers, a practice descended from Queen Gunnhildr's royal guard. One tribe, the Helions(named by scholars, not themselves) are chiefly loyal to the crown, and the other tribe, the Lost, are nomadic. There was initially hostility when they crossed into Aldenard because they didn't know the common tongue, but disappeared quickly once they learned it.
