Hellsguard don't have true 'names' since they don't see themselves defined by their bloodline. Â They aren't their family, and they aren't carrying that on their shoulders. (Or, at least, the ones who set out from the Spine and into the world aren't)
The few bits of Roe lore we have say they pick a set of words that are easy for Outlanders (Everyone else who doesn't speak the Totally Not Welsh Roe tounge), to pronounce. Â
Some, as suggested by Curious Gorge, get -given- a name that's kind of like a nickname and that just sticks, becoming their name. Gorge, in particular, says his name has a 'funny story' behind it. As some people have Noted, Hammer is in the habit of calling people by 'Nicknames' and "Given" names rather than their actual names, because that's how he was brought up and the idea that people aren't always going by some 'contextual' name just never grocked with him.
You can call someone like Hammersmith "Mr. Hammersmith", but that's not his last name. Â You're just putting it there because it's the second word in his presented/chosen name here in "Not the Spine" land. Â Works Like a last name, but there's never going to be a family line of Hammersmiths or the Hammersmith family. Â At best you'll end up with someone tacking on "Yannow, Hammersmith's kid" onto the end, to denote family alliegance which, as already pointed out, Hellsguard Roe don't put a lot of stock in.
Mr/Miss/Mrs WORKS with Hellsguard names, but you're going to be calling people Mr. Gorge, Ms. Wind, Mr. Monkey, Mrs. Bloodsky. Â Not by an actual family moniker and it probably isn't any more or less formal to call them by the second part of the name. Â I imagine using both words of the name is more a respect/honorific/YOU PAY ATTENTION, since it's kind of like a kid getting called their entire First/Middle/Last name by their parent. Â It draws attention.
