There was also ONE Roe mentioned who adopted a garlean naming convention. But other than that. Hyur.) and Au ra and Domans (hyurs). Â I'm not saying you cant be whatever you want, I'm just saying the integrity of the lore is at stake when you move too far away from what we have confirmation of.
But if there is one miqo'te from Doma, couldn't that mean that there could be more? By having even one of another race there, you are technically setting a precedent for others to also be from there. There is confirmation that, yes, there is a Miqo'te and a Lalafell that came from Doma - not to mention that there was confirmed trade with Doma and Limsa, which could set the scene for a Sea Wolf finding the place charming and settling down. As long as you can explain it in a reasonable fashion (my "Answer the How" approach), should it really be that big of a deal?
The main reason I mention this was because my second ever RP in FFXIV (and in an MMO in general) was almost derailed by another player telling me that Chachan couldn't be a Lalafell from Doma. The player's character itself was rather antagonistic as well, but that led to some interesting RP and several interesting folks coming to the little Lalafell's rescue (Dogberry and Yangh shoutout!). The tells that sought to tell me that I was bad and should feel bad for trying to RP a Doman Lalafell, though, that's what really got to me.
It's not a fun thing to experience.
