Male Viera Naming Conventions

[InfiniteArticles]

It's so disappointing that they won't even acknowledge this... naming conventions for a playable race is pretty important lore. I hope they don't pull this with female Hrothgar, too.

We kind of already know half of the female Hrothgar naming conventions since the family matriarch's name is part of the surname of a male Hrothgar with an A before it or an -sch afterwards. They use real world Slavic women's names.

True, and that's a relief, but I'd still be disappointed if they didn't tell us the conventions for female Hrothgar's surnames. What if the name generator for female Hrothgar ends up having surnames that imply some kind of lore, like male Viera's surnames do? It seems pretty likely that female Hrothgar won't have conventional surnames.

But yeah, they gave us short descriptions for 51 Xaela tribes, so I would hope they would also give us at least a vague explanation of whatever's happening in the male Viera name generator and the eventual female Hrothgar one...
