If Able, Would You Change Your Name To Meet Racial Conventions?

[Hestern_Nestern]

Oh, I am so nervous!

When I created my character and entered the world of Eorzea, Ferne had just posted a list of Lalafell Male naming conventions on the localization board (or somewhere else). I was originally going to make a Dunesfolk male, but as the conventions on that were not immediately available, and I prefer lore accuracy to personal choices, I went with Plainsfolk male instead. So far, I am pleased with the results.

The thing is...Hestern Nestern sounds a little harsh for a Lalafell name, I'm just now realizing. It follows the conventions, technically speaking Hes TERN Nes TERN (AB CB)...BUT WHAT IF IT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH?



WHAT IF I AM DOOMED!??

HESTERU NESTERU...NO.

HESTERO NESTERO...What am I Shakespeare?

Hes...Nes...WAAAAAAH!!! My name is not good enough!

I think I'm alright, as far as plainsfolk males go.

[Gramul]

Maybe my first name.

[Halvaard_Vidan]

The names of my characters aren't changing but then again, I named my Lala with the naming conventions in mind and my Rogy's name has personal significance to me. =]

[Mieck]

I'd leave mine as is, because there's a whole other naming convention from something else behind it.
However! Mules and alts... fair game

Hell yes, my husband and I so hope they let us change our names!!

I want to have a awesome Highlander name ^_^

[Gramul]

Actually, no. My name's German so I'll just change my back story to that I was found by Highlanders in a shipwreck off the coast of Ul'dah. Named so in an attempt to emulate the translated naming conventions as they understood it.

There back story done. Now I can role play like a real boy.

This makes me think that Highlanders and Roe's should actually be bros with each other...

My name already fits in perfectly with the rule of Plainsfolk Lalafels, though unfortunately I am Dunesfolk, and I don't feel like changing races, so I might just leave it as it is. It doesn't stray too much from Dunesfolk rules, though, but it isn't perfect.

Cue the rolling avalanche of fanart and fiction.
