"My tribal name is L'kenthi, but call me Kenthy. I hated my tribe." I've met a lot of people whose characters were adopted by non-Miqo'te following the Calamity, as well. Many of those will have non-traditional names.
People often have all sorts of reasons to change their names in real life, and these all apply, as well. C'kayah is only one quarter Keeper, but he adopted his maternal grandmother's surname because he felt that his Seeker suffix didn't really apply if he had left his tribe for good.
Excellent point. Sazhi'to has lived in Limsa for long enough that he doesn't question names unless they are particularly outlandish. It's rude to make fun of a name!Â
Mholi on the other hand is likely to mispronounce Elezen names, insist on using proper Miqo'te Keeper names, and ignore Tribal prefixes with Seekers.Â
It's all down to personal decisions! Â Both yours and your character's :)
