Character Names

Names
Westmarchers (Felderians/Carthdanes)
Westmarchers use anglo-saxon and early English naming conventions. They also employ a patronym system, (Name) (father’s name)son (or daughter). i.e. Alfred Bergostson, Edith Eadwindottir. Only Westmarcher nobles have family names. Those are typically given after the patronym. Epithets are also common in their culture, especially for nobles. i.e. Cedwyn "Shatter-Shield". Carthdanes use the suffix "dane" in place of "son". i.e. Wulfric Edmundane.
Galarians
Galarians use traditional French or English names, and variants thereof, often with a strong "romance language" bent. They either use family names, or places of origin to distinguish individuals. i.e. Henri Chevaux, Josephine Benoit. In the case of place names, they are often preceded by the article “du”. i.e. Francois du Narion.
Valerosi
The Valerosi use traditional Turkish or Persian names (excluding strictly Islamic ones, i.e. Mohamed). They either use family names, or places of origin to distinguish individuals. Epithets are also common in their culture, especially for nobles. i.e. Aslan “the Lion”, Osman Aksoy.
Elves
Elf names are long, flowing, multisyllabic, and vowel heavy. Any of the elf names given in the player’s handbook are appropriate.
Dwarves
Dwarf names are short, choppy, and consonant heavy. Any of the dwarf names given in the player’s handbook are appropriate.
Orcs
Orcs use descriptors rather than conventional “names”. Sometimes these are literal physical descriptions of the individual i.e. Greybeard, Strongarm. Often they are poetic phrases, frequently including references to nature. i.e. Silent Hawk, Red Fox. Every orc name is unique, and thus they have no family names.
Lizardmen/Avians
Lizardmen, and Avians, use traditional Aztec or Nahuatl names. They use a combination of family names and epithets to distinguish between individuals. i.e. Moletec Temetzi, Xochitl "Sun-fury". Any of the lizardfolk names given in Volo’s Guide to Monsters are also appropriate, especially if you have pronunciation difficulties with indigenous Mesoamerican nomenclature.
Tabaxi
Tabaxi use duo syllabic names consisting of two short syllables with a hyphen in between. Thraditonally one syllable is borrowed from the father and the other from the mother. i.e. Chi-Rho, Zhen-Re, Jin-Ra, Aran-Shi. These names are unisex. Tabaxi have no family names.
