I am reading the naming conventions and it says ". Many female names are based off of plants, weather, birds, or the seasons─words that represent beauty and kindness in the Doman society."
For surnames, what would work for a weaver/jewelry maker? or for a healer/arcanist?
I've got an alt who is named Yunas Serenity, the "S" in Yunas is silent so it would be pronounced Yuna Serenity.
Serenity isn't her last name, just her middle name as I have her as an orphan taken in by a weaver/jewelmaker parents. Her mother, a lalafell, felt the name Serenity suited because Yuna was such a serene baby when they took her in.
To answer plainly on the Surname. Your Raen character doesn't need to have a surname due to the Raen naming conventions. The only reason they would have a surname is to simplify whom they were talking too. Currently, if I'm remembering correctly, a vast majority of Eorzea lacks a middle name except for Garleans or people of nobility. So just using the first and middle name should suit your character fine.
Though for the name Serenity you might find a more japanese sounding name to fit the scheme better.
Kazuko = peace child
Kazumi = harmony and beauty
Kouhei = calm peace
Those are just a few examples by using a quick google search.
Using only one of the names above I have listed as an example:
Kouhei no Yuna = Sea Hibiscus of Calm Peace
In the end I will state it's your character, go with what you feel is right. If you want a more lore inspired name, google search out all your options and see what fits you & your character best.
