Time for a catboy intervention (hard to swallow pill inside)

Oh wow i didn't know this, interesting.

I never noticed any male miqo'te with that surname. I guess i'll be on the lookout now.

Its kind of hard to picture some dominant male miqo'te lol.

There's only a small chance of it coming up in the random name generator (3% if I remember correctly), and a lot of players don't use lore-accurate names anyway.

Character-wise, the only nunhs we've come across are from the tribes we can actually visit - U'odh Nunh at Forgotten Springs and M'rahz Nunh at the Peering Stones. Both are older men, so it could be a veteran/experience thing as much as physical power.

(But it's not actually that hard to come up with more strong warrior-looking Miqo'te; they just don't tend to get used that way.)

I was actually curious in SB if the J tribe has abandoned the old tribe structure since all J members we see are living as part of Ala Mhigan society. Obviously with my character's name it perked my interest.

There's a "J Tribe Youngling" NPC in a sidequest, so probably they're still a functioning tribe (or the writer wasn't thinking about it).

This is partially related, partially not-so-much. According to the lore/game in various places, interracial breeding is relatively rare. At least, successful stories are rare. Ones that happened are shunned. However, it's implied the adoption between races isn't really rare at all.

So what I want to know is, why do you never encounter NPCs named via naming conventions of other races? You would think somewhere along the line, a nameless, abandoned catboy baby would be found by a nice lala couple, who then proceed to name him Lalatu Tulala.

Probably due to the same logic that means names are strictly race-defined and never seem to meld into "Gridanian names" or "Ul'dahn names" - not even mixing between Midlander and Highlander in places where both clans are common.

But it's an interesting thing to play around with for your own characters.

Though to be pedantic, "Lalatu Tulala" wouldn't be a correctly structured Lalafell name for any of the clan/gender combinations.
