The real jerk of the situation - you hit the nail right on the head there.
Naming conventions came only recently all things considered so a lot of people have characters they're porting without a history/culture that they realistically couldn't have had in the first place which people are going to question ICly why they don't.
Timey wimey weirdness, isn't it?
