    Not related to the thread topic but;

    I really, really hate reading pirate slang. I wish they have more voice over for those stuff. I just don't understand pirate talk when you have to read them.

    everyone gives hate on Limsa's Pirate talk. I for one looove it.

    I'd rather be a pirate than a tree fornicator or a bleedin' merchant. Arrrr!

    Mearl-wib Blow-fis-win.

    It's not really Celtic, but it all Roegadyn names are inspired by Celtic syllables I believe, much like how Elvaan in XI were kinda french-ish.

    That's helpful thanks, doesn't make them any easier to read though.

    Merl (sea) + wyb (wife)
    Bloe (blue) + fhis (fish) + wyn (daughter)


    So it really is blowfish? lol

    I think the important part to that passage from the Localisation forum is a bit you snipped off the end;
    Although the indicator Syn (for Son) and Wyn (for Daughter) is added to the end of the family name, it's described a prefix, a little bit like Klingons - Worf, Son of Mogh. So Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn is "Daughter of Bluefish" - if she had a brother, he would be Bloefhissyn (or possibly Bloefhisyn, and drop the repeated s) - Son of Bluefish.

    Actually her family name is not "Blow-fiss-win" but "Blue (or bloo)-fiss-win".
    The "oe" is pronounced like "oo" (similar to Dutch? I don't know.)
    Source:
    http://chrysaliswiki.wikispaces.com/Roegadyn+Language

    About her first name, since the roegadyn language seems to be something between Dutch, old German and something Skandinavian to me, it could either be like in "pearl" ("mearl-wibb") which would be a rather English pronounciation.
    Or a bit like "mairl-wibb", as e.g. the German "e" in "Merlwyb" is read as something between "e" in "egg" and the "ai" of "hair" (not as extended as in hair maybe but I hope you get the idea).

    So I suppose her name is either

    "Mearl-wibb Blue-fiss-win"
    or
    "Mairl-wibb Blue-fiss-win"

    ^^

    If only they'd also enlighten us on how Miqo'te naming conventions work as well :0

    You know what's funny? They talk about Roegadyn lore and how their names are formed and then you see a Roegadyn player running around called Sephirothxxcloud, makes it seem a bit pointless lol.
