Garlean naming conventions?

[Anonymoose]

Perhaps that is hinting at Midas' incredible skill with creating very powerful Magitek, and eventual downfall due to that very gift.

This is what I've been assuming as well; an allusion to another "master metal worker," so to speak. Glad I could contribute; thanks for giving me an excuse to let these ramblings loose. I've had them in a rudimentary form for a while, but had no excuse to be like, "HEY ERRYBODEH, do you think his name might mean, 'Nail of God, descended from the House of Secrets!?'" without sounding like a dårhus out of context :P

That said, I was a huge Jeuno nut in FFXI. I would have traded away my alliegance to The Dutchy in an instant, and my Sandy Pride was off the charts - so I would bet my bottom gil that there are a lot of people out there who would be all the hell over Garlean naming conventions to create a character backstory as a spy or defector (I would).
