The weird thing with the Nunh "surname" is that it can come up in the random name generator (something like a 3% chance), which is a bit awkward when a new player isn't going to have any idea what that entails.You're not a Nuhn just because you named yourself one. :v You don't have a harem. You're lucky if you can get a catgirl to follow your lead in a dungeon. How are you gonna lead a whole tribe of them?
Whenever I see someone named themselves "Nuhn" ingame I'm like, "sure Jan."Where's that harem at? Do they know you're AFK in Limsa right now?
From, a more lore-based perspective, as well as the main naming conventions document, there's an older post with a few elaborations from Fernhalwes on other circumstances - most notably for this discussion, that a male can leave to form his own tribe, and if doing so will replace his existing tribe-letter with a new two-letter designation (since all the single letters are taken) and become Nunh of that tribe. They just don't tend to attract enough women to keep the new tribe going.
(Still, I could see it working with, say, an eloping couple declaring themselves a new tribe of two.)
By the lore rules, rather than "dropping the apostrophe" you'd probably drop the entire tribe letter, since that's not part of their individual name, but functionally more like a surname. (eg. Y'shtola is essentially "Shtola of the Y tribe") - although I guess it would make sense if he just wants to keep the sound of it.Yeah the whole Nunh and even Tia thing never really jived with me. Well at least not for an Adventurer. My male seeker has a hyur last name and removed the apostrophe from the first name. I just assume he moved out for what ever reason and adopted the name since he had no clan.
Though on the other hand if he just wants to get away from their cultural naming scheme without dropping ties to the tribe, he could potentially shift the tribe-letter into being an actual surname - a bit short on its own of course, but could draw on the 'totem animals' listed against each tribe in the naming conventions.
People lie.
Big Nunh Energy.
Funny thing, if WoL is so strong and they're a male sunseeker - why don't they have entire tribes of female suns flocking to them? Things to keep you up at night. Square why aren't you pandering to the harem fantasy? How dare you.
An obvious joke, derp herp.
To be fair, the game could actually gives people that last name with the name generator.
So before you go calling out some people with the nunh last name, should think about that first.
This. For the longest time I didn’t know why so many cat boys had Tia as a last name until I actually looked at Seeker lore. So some people might not be aware of it.
I'd be willing to bet the majority of player Hrothgar won't be portrayed as having much interest in the ladies.
Somehow I can't help but think of Shepard and Wrex's conversation in the Citadel DLC from Mass Effect 3.
