Before I started RPing, I had this miqo'te male named Frhanz'ir Kirche. ...not exactly the more lore-complient family name, but the given name seemed to work well enough.....until people tried to actualy pronounce it during raids.
It usually went something like this.
"Furaah- Fraaahhuunnzzzzuh"
"Fraaaanzurr"
"fuck it."
"We're calling you by your IRL name now. It's too hard to say your name."
Eventually, I just told them to use "Franz" which somehow made it easier. I guess that extra "h" and the "ir" made it difficult somehow.
Once I started to get into RP, I had a fantasia leftover from the 1.0 -> 2.0 migration, but there was no way to properly namechange. So I became an oddly-named Elezen, going by "Frhanz Kirche". He just always said his parents were really eccentric when they named him, hoping that at least on his birth certificate, something more normal like "Francois" was used.
The way the name was pronounced was Franz, where the a was like "can't" and Kirche which was more like "kirsh".
When that character met his untimely demise to now named Franz nil Renatus, this Franz took on the Elezen's given name, modifying it a little bit. It now should should more Germanic to fit in with pretending to be a Highlander, prnounced similarly to "Hans" where the "a" sounds should be similar to the vowel in "pot". This Franz never gives out the rest of his name because >Garleans.
