Hello everyone 
I am quite new to this place, so forgive me if I haven't looked around hard enough to find the information I needed (there's just so much to go through!).
I have a Dunesfolk Lalafell, Mamani Mani, who is 57 years old, and serves as the Quartermistress for our FC. Long story short, before she joined my FC in an official capacity (long time ago, before the Calamity; in other words, when she was only a young lady), she used to work with her parents as a merchant and a crafter, until things started going downhill. She joined up with the FC as a means to have steady income and help her parents with enough for food and shelter, but her parents wanted to keep their shop running, so they began to take loans, and now the loan sharks are after her parents for having missed their payments, so she and her brother are having to find ways to make additional income to help pay for their parents' debts.
"So, what's your question? All you've done is ramble .__."
Well, I want to give her brother and her parents life, create a story for them, and make them more than just "my brother, father and mother". With that, comes giving them a name, and although I understand the naming conventions for Lalafell, the one thing that I have not been able to find is how one would be able to tell Lalafellin families apart. How could I name her brother and parents in such a way that, lore-wise, would indicate they are all from the same family? Is there a particular syllable in the name that signifies "this Lala is from such-and-such family" or is it a free-for-all and I just get to say that they're related?
If there is a specific indicator of families, and any of you have any examples to give, I would be more than glad to see what you may come up with!
As an added question: if any of your suggestions sound like something I would use, may I have your permission to use such names? If you would all be so kind as to give me a 'yes' or a 'no' if you happen to suggest a name, I would greatly appreciate it!
