My sister and I both have Gaelic names, pronounce it as such, but I am pretty certain I'm Dutch to the core, and outside the online world I rarely speak any English. I may just point out that having x name from a language does not automatically make you a native in that language x_X It is a bit flawed logic you are using there.
To be clear, I of course was never suggesting that having a name granted knowledge of a language. Â Only that we know French names exist in a manner that is pronounced like French. Â That cannot follow from English/Common, realistically. Â Somehow French pronunciation exists such that it provides the means to create and pronounce Ishgardian/Elezen names. Â It seems reasonable to infer the existence of the language because of that.
Gaelic names can only exist and be pronounced because Gaelic languages exist, and so on.

And I don't think its conclusive at all, just suggestive. Its only a game and sometimes games takes shortcuts with such things (just as they do with the language issue generally).
