I'm a big lover of humans...not because they're 'easy' to RP, but because they aren't. Humans don't have a culture, per se, but I've made one up for myself so that's what I use to RP...not how humans of earth are now, but how my version of humans of Haelrahv are.

This post is not about that...I have semi-novels on the human boards about that.

This post is about other races and their names. Recently, I rolled up an Eolai just to have one...and I noticed that there's a namegen on the CM now. And all Eolai names seem to follow a strict guideline. Names begin with vowels, and end in vowels or 'k' or 'f.'

Alteri names are very Chinese with W and X.

I've never made a Jaddan...

Darju names remind me of slavic languages with lots of constinants together...

So maybe we can get a pronunciation guide and perhaps some common first and last names for the races? I'm just curious.

Just so you know, you don't have to be in the CM to see sample names, NAMEGEN <racename> works IG.

Also, just so you know, the CM namegen has been there for as long as I can remember - which goes back to pre-beta.

Yeah, but I've never rolled up anything other than human, so I had no idea.

As I said previously, this is something I'm working on, but it's not top of the list, so don't expect it too soon.

Since we just had a meeting about this, I figured I'd give this thread a bump and paste the pamphlet Morrigan was so great to have prepared for us.

Code:
Eolai:
Elements:
Fire - Itai
Ice - Oshen
Water - Oshai
Earth - Eokai
Air - Aeceo
Shadow - Isafae
Light -Efae
 
Consonants: B, C, Ch, F, K, L, N, R, S, Sh, T, W
Vowels/Vowel Combinations: A, E, O, I, Ae, Eo, Ai.
Word Ending: A, Ae, Ai, or E.
 
Darju:
Consonants: F, D, G, H, K, L, M, N, R, T, V, Z
Vowels: A, E, I, O, U.
Word Endings: Any.
 
Alteri:
Consonants: C, H, L, R, S, Sh, V, X, W, Y
Vowels/Vowel Combinations: A, E, Ei, I, O.
Word Endings: Any of the vowel or vowel combinations.
 
Jaddan:
Consonants: B, Ch, D, G, H, K, J, M, N, P, R, Sh, V
Vowels: A, O, U
Word Endings: Any.


Note: I asked Morrigan about Y for Darju, because of my auto-generated name, and was told it is another acceptable vowel for that race. Not sure if it is on any of the others.
