Naming conventions of the first (research/speculations)

[Phel]

The problem with your theory Eloah is that "Nuzz" (or any second name of male Mystels) can't be used as the first name for a male Mystel. I have a list of 40 names, and they all have the same pattern, so it can't be a coincidence.
That's why I said that the males taking their mother's first name as a surname (and females their father's) was one of the possibilities, because there is a female first name that is very close to Nuzz (and there is an equivalent like this for every name).

I think I agree about elf names Elecrom. Here is a short list if somone has an opinion on this:
male names: Mynes, Lamlyn, Eismon, Melboth, Lesthil, Taynor, Nyelbert
female names: Ersabel, Katliss, Evelie, Chantilde


And here's a list of Humes names, while I'm at it :
male names: Colphas, Maril, Varthon, Karnes, Valan, Leineil, Anthibert, Moren, Loythe, Thaffe, Jeryk, Hathenstein, Tofrith, Drery, Cerigg, Minebern, Harlolth, Darmal
female names: Iola, Harvene, Callea, Ovelin, Hargra, Alsa, Ulmie



Something strange I found while talking to a fate npc in Amh Araeng :

What ? No, you don't use Humes names, Ronsos have different names. I don't really understand this.
Maybe that only means that before the Ronsos used names with a signification in their old tongue, and now they just have names without a real meaning, like the Humes ? So they have similar name conventions, but not with the same names ?

I think this is akin to what Roegadyns do between their two clans. The Seawolves use their native language, but the Hellsgaurd use the translated Eorzean equivalent. But one does not have to follow this "rule" as Grynewaht was a Hellsgaurd but had his name in the old language, and was called Green Guard, like most Hellsguards would be.
