I voted yes.
But you're a Miqo'Te with a very Germanic name, why aren't you a Roegadyn or something?
Okay, Saefinn is actually an Icelandic name and perhaps fitting for the very Germanic/Nordic Roegadyn, but Saefinn is the name used for my MMO presence. I used naming conventions for some of Saefinn's family. In creating my character's family history, I have made excuses as to why he's called Saefinn.
It's not unusual for somebody to take the names from another language and of course beyond calling my cat Yoshi.
But names I'm using in this family:
R'uhanu Tia, who became R'uhanu Liljasson. Saefinn's grandfather.
R'Lahta Liljasson. Saefinn's grandmother.
Steinn Liljasson. Saefinn's father.
Rohsa Liljasson. Saefinn's mother.
Finnbjorn Liljasson. Saefinn's brother.
Lilja (surname unknown), R'uhanu's master, a Roegadyn R'uhanu owed his life to.
At least I feel these names are justified. Roegadyn naming conventions seem to derive from the Germanic, particular in their use of dipthongs (like ae, oe and other combinations to create long vowel sounds) and the use of 'j' as a 'y' or 'y' for 'i', for example, their word for 'hunt' is Jaeg, people will know of Jagermeister, which literally translates from German to 'Huntmaster', hence the Alestorm song.
Then of course the Miqo'te conventions are a little different. The first letter represents the tribe, the surname is your partner (if you're female) or denotes whether you're a mate (if you're male) and the use of the letter 'h' is common due to how Miqo'tes pronounce words. You'll notice 'Rohsa' has no apostrophe, but she decided to lose that part of her name.
I think it's fascinating how you can play around with names and words in this, it kind of helps you understand the in game culture a little more and of course, help create an identity for your character, particularly when you're trying to justify less traditional names.
