    All of the Doman names thusfar follow 8bitbadguy's stated rules, plus the added fact that all of them have only 3 Japanese characters written as romaji as the first name.

    They have mentioned to be from Othard, not just Doma, and there's two clans, so they may draw from more than just Japanese naming conventions.

    Yugiri is said to be an orphan, raised by Domans - so her name might not be her original Au Ra name rather than one given to her by her adopted family. Since Au Ra are somehow connected to dragons, I wouldn't be surprised if they used dragon language words instead (kind of like roegadyn ones).
    That puts me hoping for a list with more dragon words than Akh or Afah xD

    This. The Doman are mainly Hyur, but great job deciphering their naming convention none the less. I'm sure it'll help some RPers out there.

    Where was it said that she was an orphan raised by Domans?

    Her last name is Mistwalker apparently: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Yugiri_Mistwalker

    I never knew that o.o Also never knew she was a orphan either..

    Hoping for their names to be related to the dragon language

    I'm not sure about the orphan thing. They discussed it in 2-3 forums:
    The speculation was that Au Ra originate from Othard (what seems to be the only officially confirmed thing we know about them xD) that is currently under garlean control. They are likely foreigners in Doma too. (for how long??)
    Speculating that Au Ra have dragonish names, Yugiris doman name leaves the idea, she might be an orphan raised by domans.

    Doma is to Othard as Gridania is to Eorzea. Othard is the continent that holds Doma, so they aren't mutually exclusive. Doma is just a region of the whole.

    However judging from Yugiri's hesitation to show her face, she must have encountered quite a bit of predjudice in the past so it's understandable that she might not be a familiar race to Domans as a whole.

    Not just to Eorzea, but all of Aldenard, our continent.

    I hope that further clarifies the scale of it. With that in mind, it should seem even more out-there to say that a large Au Ra population, even just 1 of 2 clans, follows Doman naming conventions.
