	Because all [[Amogus\|amoguses]] are ultimately derived from [[Big Amogus]], all amoguses share the same family name of ''A-mô-gús'' (some old literature transcribes this as ''A-mô-gu-xơ''). The middle name of an amogus is usually based on their skin color. The given name of an amogus is based on their hobby, job, defining physical characteristics or something else.

			== Amorian naming system ==
			The most common naming system in [[Amoria]] is as follows: <br> [place of origin/bloodline name] + [given name] + [honorific/title] + "leu" <br>
			Using HeaKiki'tsaleu as an example, Hea (capital of Amorian Homeland) is the place of origin, Kiki is the given name, "'tsa" is the title (meaning queen), and "-leu" indicates possessive, meaning the full name literally means "Hea's Queen Kiki". One could also use the family or bloodline name instead of place of origin, which in this case would be MorbvaKiki'tsaleu, or "The Morbva Family's Queen Kiki".

In addition, non-amoguses may not have the word ''Amogus'' as part of their name.

			Foreigners whose names are transliterated into Adnaran may eschew all of the above requirements.

	In [[Xindvâ]] and [[Kygami]], names follow a four-part scheme: a clan name (''dânhû''); a given name (''phim''); an honorific, role suffix or epithet (''gur'' "type"); and a place of origin (''nhuhrod'' "birthland"). The honorific is never used when introducing oneself, only when one is referred to by others. Clan names are used not just by members of the family, but by those who serve or are otherwise aligned with the family, though many commoners do not belong to a clan. In everyday conversation, one is generally referred to by their given name by more close relations and superiors, and by their honorific by less familiar relations or those of lower status or rank. In some contexts, both may be used, particularly in situations where two people are well-acquainted but some level of professionalism or formality is required. The full name is very rarely used in speech, mostly appearing in government documents.

			== Kripet name system ==
			In [[Krīpoti]], names are divided in three parts: the first name, the middle name and the last name. The first name is assigned at birth and is gendered, with most male names being names of animals and most female ones being of plants (some names have different meanings, usually features of the sky or natural phenomena, these are gendered too). The middle name is assigned when the child turns three, is non-gendered and is always a characteristic of the child's behavior. The last name is the family name, is inherited and is often (but not always) the name of an ancestor in the genitive case. Inheritance of the family name follows the same rules as inheritance of belongings, with sons usually having the family name of the father and daughters that of the mother. Adults can change their own name if they so wish, but this is a very rare practice, and changing one's last name is especially uncommon. In most contexts the last name is omitted, and in informal situations usually only the first name is used.

			An example of a full Kripet name would be {{Script\|script=lepe\|t=  }} ''Zōme To Nolāqet'', where ''Zōme'' is the first name, ''To'' is the middle name, and ''Nolāqet'' is the last name.

	The [[Kyawcenni people\|Kyawcenni]] name system consists of a single legal name. This name is given to a person on their birth by their parents, though people are allowed to change it later at any time. This name can consist of only one morpheme, or it can be made up of multiple words, with the last one usually being the name commonly used informally and the ones before being descriptors. Common descriptors are attributes of the person, the names of the parents or honorary titles.		The [[Kyawcenni people\|Kyawcenni]] name system consists of a single legal name.

			=== Tolifax Name System ===
			The name system in the [[Toli]] culture is tied to the [[Toli calendar]]. The common name is constructed from the word for a bird that the parents first saw after a child was born, one of the four seasons that the child was born in, and the name of the birthplace. The parental name is constructed from the season names of the parents, father's season being first for male children, and mother's season being first for female children. If the seasons are the same, the season is written once.


			The name of a female child born in the season of Xyl, born in Tiamis, whose parents first saw a seagaul, whose mother was born in Salf, and father was born in Xyl would be: Siflamxyltiamis Salfyxel

			Before Peska 54, the "family name" did not truly exist, but in its place was just some identifier of the family, often either something near where the family lives, a job the family is known for doing, or if all else fails, the first name of the mother plus the word ''naita'' ("child"). Family and clan names were usually deemed unnecessary outside of ceremonial and official situations, though. The Family Name Act of Peska 54 declared that family names would be set in stone. Some old clan names were also used as family names as well.

			The [[Rauratoshan Kingdom]]'s "legal" or "government name" drops the clan name (as this is a separate field), and so Rauratoshan technically uses a naming system that is best described as Modern legally.

	The [[Rauratoshan Kingdom]]'s so-called "legal" or "government name" uses a naming system that is best described as Modern, but unlike e.g. the [[fakeworld]] Anglosphere, there is no distinction between a middle name and the second part of a two-part name - so for example, an Englishman named John Michael Smith who wishes to become a citizen of Rauratoshan would have to either drop "Michael" from their government name, or change their legal first name to "John Michael". This differs from historical naming conventions, but the same information is often kept elsewhere in one's government documents anyway.
