If I'm not mistaken, tribal Seekers of the Sun are the only case where you can't reasonably substitute the second name as a family name. This is due to the fact that their "families" are their tribes, and their tribes are denoted by the first letter of their given name. U'odh Nunh, for instance, breaks down as "Odh of the U Tribe" with Nunh as their title (which denotes breeding rights, but that's an aside).

I do know there's a lore tidbit for loading screens that didn't make it into the game that specifies that Plainsfolk names are typically given together. "Teledji Adeledji," for example. Never "Adeledji" and only rarely "Teledji".

Never encountered any issues with other races when addressing other roleplayers' characters by their second name, personally speaking, but I'm not too familiar with how this should be handled in the case of Hellsguard. Up until now, I've treated their names as given name and surname.


EDIT: PLAINSFOLK get both names used, not Dunesfolk. Derp derp. Thanks Souns.
