I was wondering if anyone knows anything about Highlander family names outside of the little tidbit we got from the lore sticky on the official forums.
The bolded bit made me wonder if they don't really have family names as we know them. I know that they're based off Germanic and Normadic roots, but do they inherit a last name from their parents or do they establish their own last name? Names like Erikson (Son of Erik) or, as the quote says, titles earned in battle? Or not necessarily even battle. Just things they're known for?
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had seen anything in the game itself or knew something that could shed some light on this topic!
