Naming conventions of the first (research/speculations)

[Phel]

The problem with your theory Eloah is that "Nuzz" (or any second name of male Mystels) can't be used as the first name for a male Mystel. I have a list of 40 names, and they all have the same pattern, so it can't be a coincidence.
That's why I said that the males taking their mother's first name as a surname (and females their father's) was one of the possibilities, because there is a female first name that is very close to Nuzz (and there is an equivalent like this for every name).

I think I agree about elf names Elecrom. Here is a short list if somone has an opinion on this:
male names: Mynes, Lamlyn, Eismon, Melboth, Lesthil, Taynor, Nyelbert
female names: Ersabel, Katliss, Evelie, Chantilde


And here's a list of Humes names, while I'm at it :
male names: Colphas, Maril, Varthon, Karnes, Valan, Leineil, Anthibert, Moren, Loythe, Thaffe, Jeryk, Hathenstein, Tofrith, Drery, Cerigg, Minebern, Harlolth, Darmal
female names: Iola, Harvene, Callea, Ovelin, Hargra, Alsa, Ulmie



Something strange I found while talking to a fate npc in Amh Araeng :

What ? No, you don't use Humes names, Ronsos have different names. I don't really understand this.
Maybe that only means that before the Ronsos used names with a signification in their old tongue, and now they just have names without a real meaning, like the Humes ? So they have similar name conventions, but not with the same names ?
