OK this feels like an advertisement so I apologize in advance for that, but I made a character generator with names based entirely off of the naming conventions I've seen so far in the beta. Some names are actual names taken from minor NPCs (no major characters), but most are just following the naming styles. http://www.adventureleague.net/ffxiv-name-generator
The Lalafell females don't have last names because I haven't seen any in game with a last name. However, someone on the ZAM forums was discussing this and they have a theory that female names would rhyme like: Zuzudesu Susudesu. So it would be a-a-b c-c-b in structure. Once classes are done and Beta3 starts up I plan on re-analyzing the names lists for all races and adding the theoretical naming structure for Lalafell female last names until we see evidence of something else in the game.
Basically the names break down like this:
Hyur:
Incredibly varied. I've seen English, Germanic, and Japanese sounding names on Hyur.
Example names: Kora, Mardian
Elezen:
Similar to Elvaan names from FFXI. Elezen names sound somewhat French and unpronounceable.
Example names: Amoura, Virgaud
Roegadyn:
Definitely very old Germanic sounding. Example names: Ruthyhk, Deigensmyd
Miqo'te:
There are two distinct naming styles for Miqo'te NPCs: some have an apostrophe in their names along with 2 consecutive consonants, such as: O'takka. Others have a short first name followed by a longish last name, similar to FFXI, such as: Bhyi Vomdezeloh. I noticed a lot of names have "z" in them this time around.
Lalafell:
Lalafell female names are the reverse of what they were for Tarutarus in FFXI. Whereas in FFXI the Lalafell F may have been named Ropipi, in FFXIV she would be named Pipiro. A-A-B, like I mentioned above. For male names the last name has the same ending as the first, such as Forrem Gobrem.
Hope that helps!
