I am not sure what sort of words make a proper first or last name for a female keeper(though I do know what her son would be called if such).

Female first names are typically short, two syllable things, sometimes with unspoken H's.

I'd recommend taking a look at these two links. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threa...rification http://fandango.exp.jp/name-generator.php#result Using these two sources you can find a ton of Keeper of the Moon names and from there you can get a feel for how the names sound, which letters and combinations of letters are most common, and maybe even find a surname you thoroughly enjoy.  Canon Keepers of the Moon have a really hard time with names because the names are based off of the ancient Miqo'te language which is no longer spoken in Eorzea. Many of these names have existed since the very birth of the miqo'te race, many many millennia before they ever traveled to Eorzea. So Fern only knows what they could mean.

For females there's no suffix, for males its mother's name then an appostrophe seperated suffix designating what order the son was born in.  Xha'li for example would be third son of Xha.
