I started playing FFXIV in May of last year and made my character a female Raen Au Ra. I wanted to make a name that fit the game's lore, and in the lore most Raen have Japanese names due to being from an area based on Japan (I am aware that there are Raen in other parts of the world who use different naming conventions). Instead of picking a name from the generator, I came up with a Japanese name not from the generator, Eri Amano. What I didn't pay enough attention to at the time is that Raen in the Far East are supposed to have Japanese names from the 16th to 18th centuries. My question is, does the name I picked for my character fit the lore? I'm hardly an expert on the Japanese language, let alone the Japanese etymology, and I wasn't able to find anything online saying when the name Eri started to be used. I asked on r/ffxiv about it a couple days ago and got some helpful feedback, but not a definitive answer. I know that most people don't name their characters with lore in mind, and that's fine, but I like to have something that fits because it makes me feel more immersed in the setting. At the same time, I kind of don't want to change my character's name because I've gone all the way from A Realm Reborn to Endwalker using it. This whole dilemma is probably going to sound silly to a lot of people but I can be kind of neurotic about certain things at times. Anyway, what are your thoughts on the name? Does it stick out from the setting too much or does it sound plausible? I'm hoping someone with greater knowledge of Japanese than me can offer some input if it's not too much trouble.
