Dunesfolk naming conventions:
Male:AAB CCB
Female:AAB AB
Hihibaru at Highbridge has a daughter named Hihira in Little Ala Mhigo. Based on those NPCs I would guess that Dunesfolk family names are represented in the first name.
The AA portion of the father's name is passed on
Hihira Hira= Full name
Hihi = family name
Hi- = family prefix to unique female name
-ra= unique suffix to unique female name
The Coco(b)- brothers of the thaumaturge's guild are another example of shared AA prefixes (and first letter of B suffix). The B and CCB portions of male names seem to be unique
tl;dr Perhaps Lolotaru Lalataru's family name is Lolo.
That's an interesting find. I always figured the B part of the two names were considered the family name but this makes a lot more sense.
