So I have a question reguarding Elezen. I've read the naming conventions thread for them and their mention that there is a bit of a divergence when it comes to surnames. With one sideÂ or the other claiming the surnames for themselves.

But i can't seem to find a list of sample surnames anywhere, Does such a list exist? i was thinking of making a Duskwight and this would help me with making the name.

All I know is elezen of both subraces have Frenchesque names, but I don't know about their surnames. Probably Frenchesque too?

I decided to undertake a lite google search about some basics of this, and this is what I came up with :

â—˜ http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Elezen/Naming

(compare this to this famous NPC example of : http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Louisoix_Leveilleur )

â—˜ http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threa...onventions

(Some copying of info from above, but I feel a pretty good basic understanding of names)

â—˜ http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threa...se-Clarify

( A discussion of Elezen Sur-Names )

â—˜ http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/printthread...777&page=3

(Two other, lighter discussions that may provide a new angle or clue, even if it is lost in some off-topic discussion.)

Hope that helps.

Also, since you have a guide above, I would recommend looking at lists of French names and fitting them in or, ideally, just go to google translate and incorporate such name-concepts into your name in a way that sounds/looks good to you.

I set it on "who" and hopefully it will be set to translate English-to-French so you can figure out how it looks in French and if you like it, based on the above info I've given.

Yes thank you that does help a bit! I guess I'll go for a French orÂ Pseudo-FrenchÂ last name for the character then.
