Help translating my character name to Roegadyn

[LPLIVETV]

You misunderstand. I want to remain named Wandering Adventurer and will use my Fantasia to change to a Sea Wolf. According to the naming conventions for Roegadyn, it is not uncommon for a Sea Wolf to use a modern Eorzean name and a Hellsguard to stick with one that uses the old language. I will be one of the Sea Wolves who use a modern Eorzean name so those I meet don't struggle to call me by Eyriabhentyra, while those who know me by my real name can call me Eyriabhentyra if they choose. It's as if my name was William but went by Bill.

I will create a Sea Wolf alt to reserve my old languages name, but will play on Wandering Adventurer as a Sea Wolf with a modern Eorzean name. And because of the character limits for names in-game, I will simply split Eyri and Abhentyra. I don't have intentions of playing the character though.

I missed the part about Sea Wolves last names being their father's name + syn, so I named myself Eyriabhentyra Merlsyn, which translates as "Wandering Adventurer, son of the Sea". It may not follow lore completely, but it satisfies me, and is a matter insignificant for the people I hope to roleplay with.

Thanks again Junah, you have been a major help in choosing my Roegadyn name.

No problem!

And I think there are plenty of reasons why a Roegadyn might choose to abandon their birth surname and create a new one that doesn't quite fit the lore (never knowing their father, having a falling out with their family, etc)--but I'm not going to annoy you anymore with unasked for RPing advice.
