That's great, thank you. Glad I didn't screw up after all.
Rinette Wrote:Rinette's clan is just backstory as well but I thought if I left it open it could be an interesting plot if someone wanted to fill in the spot. It's really not a major story that I was planning on doing with her. It's a shame we couldn't combine our families but it happens and we can still roleplay together. :3
I feel like I royally messed up with Rinette's name as well, I was randomizing a lot of names in the character creator and didn't like any of the first names so I threw in Rinette from an old WOW character. I immediately regretted it when I started to work on her backstory and was looking through what little lore I could find about miqo'te and someone linked to the naming conventions.
The name Rinette seemed fine to me until you just now mentioned that LOL. The good thing about being a Keeper female is that you don't need to throw in any apostrophes or prefixes. I guess if you were going to go with Rinette you couldn't have chosen a better Miqo'te gender and race.
Addition: Since you've updated the post, I would like to add that the names Rin, Rihn, Rinn and Rinh are all female Keeper names. Also, Keeper females have names that are one, or two syllables. Rinette is two syllables! Your name actually fits with naming conventions just fine.
