Yuella Posted February 7, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 7, 2016 Hi! I want to name my Roe "Wuthering Heights" because it's my favorite english novel. I could make a Hellsguard and just name him Wuthering Heights but a Sea Wolves marauder would fit the character more. I think Wuthering can be translated to Stormy wind so Styrmwaen? Heights can mean hill but there's no hill so mountain (Berk). I can make it "son of the mountain" so Styrmwaen Berksyn? or... I can make Wuthering Heights the first name (Styrmberk / Styrmberk?) and the last name can describe the main character (Heathcliff) who is an uncultivated person (wild son, Wiltsyn?). So the name is Styrmberk Wiltsyn. Styrmwaen Berksyn vs Styrmberk Wiltsyn ? or I can just name my Sea Wolves "Wuthering Heights" since I read some Sea Wolves use common language? Link to comment
Unnamed Mercenary Posted February 7, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 7, 2016 Sea Wolves and Hellsguards can use both naming conventions. It's not uncommon for them to. It's just that typically, Sea Wolves use the traditional language and Hellsguards translate their given name into common. There are some named NPCs for both to back it up. Link to comment
Savo Posted February 7, 2016 Share #3 Posted February 7, 2016 Is naming a sea wolf Wuthering Heights phonetically also a possibility. Say something like: Wuthryn Hyts, or Whythenyn Haigts? Then when asked what it means translated you might say it means: Victorian Affair or Torrid Passion. Also Cassyryn Yrmshaw makes a pretty cool Sea Wolf name. -just some thoughts. Link to comment
Miss Gaz Posted February 7, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 7, 2016 What unnamed said is they both can have either since they interbreed a lot or come from different points I personally am a huge fan of the traditional Roegadyn language so I would go with that in my opinion. Link to comment
Lost River Posted February 7, 2016 Share #5 Posted February 7, 2016 I love both naming conventions for the Roes, so much I have two of them. But as far as such, I think there is a link that has the naming conventions. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61152-Roegadyn-Naming-Conventions Hope this helps. Link to comment
Smagon Posted February 7, 2016 Share #6 Posted February 7, 2016 I'll be honest, I was somewhat disappointed when I opened this thread because for some reason I was expecting to see the song by Kate Bush translated into Roegadyn. 1 Link to comment

Lost River linked it. ...so it's not that they just substitute certain sounds, but that their names are very much [word][maybe a connector][word] [word][maybe a connector][word][syn/wyn, depending on gender and gender of parent being referred to]. The surname is actually a parent's name, much like how we have "Jacobson" for "Jacob's son" etc. Link to comment
