Au Ra Naming Conventions
Before I start, I’d like to bring up an oft-forgotten feature implemented at the release of A Realm Reborn—the Character Creation name generator. The name generator is a great way to see some example of both fore- and surnames that follow the naming conventions for the race & clan you have chosen. There are anywhere from five to ten thousand combinations available in the generator’s database, and I’d highly recommend using the feature if you’re serious about choosing a name that feels authentic.
The Auri naming conventions (as a whole) are similar to those of the Hyur, in that, instead of creating a new language for the race (as was done with the Miqo'te) or taking and tweaking a rule set for an existing Earth language (as was done with the Elezen) or a doing a little bit of both (as was done with the Roegadyn), we decided to use existing Earth names (almost) as-is. I say (almost), because we have taken some liberties with spellings to ensure that some possibly offensive letter combinations are avoided.
So, which Earth languages are we borrowing names from? Well, as most of you have already figured out, the Raen (Yugiri’s clan) borrows their names from Japanese. The second clan—the Xaela—take theirs from Mongolian. However, as is the case with Hyuran names, we have chosen to use names/spellings that slightly different than their modern equivalents. We’ll touch more on that in the detailed descriptions of each clan’s rules.
