I just want to know what the logic is with Mystel names. There's a clear pattern between male and female names that looks like it should be given and family name, but then they take nicknames somewhat randomly from either half of the name.
From what I've gathered, all Mystel follow [Given name]-[Surname], but female Mystel likely take their surnames from either a father or a husband, since there's a lot of overlap between male forenames and female surnames. Maybe they're saving it for Encyclopedia Eorzea III?
I've actually done some independent research on this exact subject for the other races of the First as well, though at risk of derailing I'll save them for another thread. I'm still hopeful that the First will eventually become more relevant to life on the Source, so more information on this would be greatly appreciated as well.
