The Roegadyn who have names such as Tall Oak and such are Hellsguard. I think SE said because they usually work as mercenaries and deal with multiple cultures all the time they have ditched more of their native tongue as opposed to the Sea Wolves who still name themselves in the native tongue. But this isn't true of every Roegadyn as some Hellsguard still name themselves in their native tongue; this is just more of a generalization of the two tribes.
I would treat it just like real life though. Armi explained it really well with Japanese culture. I would really just leave it up to the player. I mean after living among all these different races and cultures you would slowly start assimilating and taking bits and parts of all of them and making them your own, but there will be families and people who are traditionalist.
Some examples of how cultures have melded together are people who celebrate Cinco De Mayo, St. Patricks Day, Christmas (who are not Christians) and so on. These are all holidays that stemmed from different cultures and though they are not celebrated as they originally were intended to, the culture at large still reveres these holidays. Heck, I even think Canada has its own version of Thanksgiving.
