I use the name "Jana" in pretty much everything so my friends in one game can quickly identify me in another. After quickly checking to make sure the name wouldn't be lorebreaking in any way with the race I chose to play as, Miqo'te Keeper, I researched the NPC surnames that were available to look at from 1.0. I found that a lot of them had similarities to names from Turkey, Egypt, and other middle-eastern countries (not really limited to any one language, it seemed). I took an Egyptian surname for Jana and changed the pronunciation to fit the Miqo'te: Simply adding an "h" seems a bit cosmetic when "Ridah" is read normally but it would become "Rida-*hissing sound*" if she introduced herself in a proper way to another Keeper. This hasn't happened since Jana's continued distancing herself from anything resembling tradition over time... But the option is there!
