It seems like a fairly harmless naming convention, though, so it's not really an issue in my eyes.
It's actually official lore.
It's from a dev post. Specifically, the devs explain that a tia can form a new tribe using a two letter prefix, but this is rare as Seeker women will rarely follow such males. A subsequent dev post further notes that doing so makes all parties involved outcasts: "And is far more accepted than merely leaving the tribe to make one's own (which, ultimately makes that person an outcast). This is why you will almost never see Seekers of the Sun with tribal letters beyond the original 26 (like the Ma'shtola I mentioned earlier). There are simply not that many, and those that do exist, rarely admit it, for fear of ostracism."
