Or you get creative with it. My character's family uses the last name Meridian (and has in his past several iterations in games), which I took from a geography term, because they have a history of being travelers. I'm not sure exactly what gil is made up (does the lore ever say?), but you could use a precious metal name like Silver or Sterling. Or if they work in a certain type of goods you could take something from that.
... last names are an interest of mine. Weird, I know.
Hm... I like the idea of using something related to gil or merchandise, but I don't know how the surname would sound, seeing as his father is a Chocobo merchant. I suppose I could have the surname be "Feather" or something of that nature.
