Elixerlon Posted July 1, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2013 So I have a question reguarding Elezen. I've read the naming conventions thread for them and their mention that there is a bit of a divergence when it comes to surnames. With one side or the other claiming the surnames for themselves. But i can't seem to find a list of sample surnames anywhere, Does such a list exist? i was thinking of making a Duskwight and this would help me with making the name. Link to comment
Asyria Posted July 1, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2013 All I know is elezen of both subraces have Frenchesque names, but I don't know about their surnames. Probably Frenchesque too? Link to comment
Black Posted July 1, 2013 Share #3 Posted July 1, 2013 I decided to undertake a lite google search about some basics of this, and this is what I came up with : ◘ http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Elezen/Naming (compare this to this famous NPC example of : http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Louisoix_Leveilleur ) ◘ http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61148-Elezen-Naming-Conventions (Some copying of info from above, but I feel a pretty good basic understanding of names) ◘ http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61639-Elezen-Surnames-Please-Clarify ( A discussion of Elezen Sur-Names ) ◘ http://ffxivrealm.com/profile-posts/826/comments ◘ http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/printthread.php?tid=1777&page=3 (Two other, lighter discussions that may provide a new angle or clue, even if it is lost in some off-topic discussion.) Hope that helps. :bomb: Also, since you have a guide above, I would recommend looking at lists of French names and fitting them in or, ideally, just go to google translate and incorporate such name-concepts into your name in a way that sounds/looks good to you. http://translate.google.com/?q=ff+xiv+lore+names+elezen&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.48572450,d.aWc&biw=1092&bih=602&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wT#auto/fr/whohttp:// I set it on "who" and hopefully it will be set to translate English-to-French so you can figure out how it looks in French and if you like it, based on the above info I've given.

Elixerlon Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted July 1, 2013 Yes thank you that does help a bit! I guess I'll go for a French or Pseudo-French last name for the character then. Link to comment
