    Lore Naming Conventions. Will we be able to include an apostrophe now?

    After reading the naming convention for male Miqo'te, are we going to be able to use apostrophes in our names now? For example, "O'raha"...If someone were to make that name now it'd be "Oraha"...looks much better with the apostrophe if you ask me...

    So. Yeah? Apostrophes? No? I understand that could prove to be slightly frustrating to try to type out when trying to /tell someone. But. Throwing it out there.



    EDIT: I love that I've been saying Miqo'te names right! XD

    I think we should be able to have apostrophes in our names, but not have to use them when sending tells. In other words be able to create O'raha _____, but be able to send tells to both O'raha and Oraha.

    I was always meant to be "Y'ru", so maybe if I can be Y'ruh I can fulfill that old wish.

    I hope you can! :O That'll be great!

    I hope we can use apostrophes so that I can make my Miqo'te second character > I must have a male Miqo'te. They're so cool. But Rex must remain the way he is.

    The Miqo'te naming conventions are fantastic. I love that there's so much lore behind the two main tribes. Shame Llen is missing her tribe designation.

    Also I guess her dad's name was Coram? Crazy. I'm such a lore hound, this whole forum pleases me.

    Could easily make it L'len.

    Lol it's like many of you Miqo'te are orphans suddenly learning your heritage. Your father would have been L'coram Nunh, assuming you go with the name "L'len".

    I'm just eating up all of this new lore. I've never spent this much time on the forums!

    I see what you mean. It's like how emails don't care whether or not you have a period in the name.

    For example, sending to hyurmid@eorzea.com or hyur.mid@eorzea.com would go to the same email.

    I hadn't even realized that it worked that way in email. I've learned a lot today. Just about makes up for all the learning I've lost in the years since school (yes I intended the sentence this way).
