Expect a post in the Lore forums by Koji closer to the expansion, he posts all of the naming conventions for the races there.

In all honesty, I kind of wish they'd post name conventions earlier. I've had a name change sitting idle on an alt I plan to fantasia to my viera, but they're at the start of Stormblood and I'd like to try to push them through it before Shadowbringers. Can't do that without changing the name though. Naming conventions can't come soon enough. ; ;

Viera have Scandanavian style names

Another user had earlier mentioned that it may have some relation to Icelandic. Is this also under Scandinavian-ish? Theyre generally within influence area, imo. Sorry. Obviously I don't study enough xD

You could always imagine them having gone by an alias that they took on cuz it's easier for non vieras to pronounce or they didnt like their true name being called by non viera or the Greenwood! Then when you decide the name, it'll be like super reveal. At least it wont affect your gameplay/progression!

But I agree, i wished the naming convention came sooner. I have a painful belief that the names are part of the character, their background and history. So I tend to build a character with these 3 information ;×;
