Modern name system

The name system described as "Modern" by the Atlantic Government is the usual name system used in English. It has one or more first names or given names followed by a last name or family name, which is usually the same for people related to each other.

Śácamþań name system

The Śácamþań naming system is used in Þunan Qumreá and Maraśa. It consists of four parts: the name of the niman or guardian deity assigned during the Rite of Passage in genitive, the child name (generally based on time/place of birth and sex), the adult name (chosen based on gender and niman after the Rite of Passage, and the occupation.

An example could be e.g. Miŋeń Rup Þuna Muń Nmu nAzu pru (mu(. This person was associated Miŋe ‘Sun’ at the Rite of Passage, was named Rup ‘Waterfall’ as a child due to being born near one, and now takes the name Þuna ‘star’, which suggests they are third gender and highlights their ability to co-operate and defend the weak. Their occupation is Muń ‘carpenter’.

Þaj name system

Þaj name has 3-4 parts. Nickname, First name, Middle name (optional), and Surname. With the first name, middle name, and surname being in English, and nickname being in Þaj. For example, the English name of the Insanity Faction's leader is Ethan Brynkleigh. But his Þaj name would be "Tàm" Īhþāhn Bîŋlìh". Nickname can be anything. Sirenguardeds calls people by their nickname, with nickname+first name combo being more formal, and first name+last name being so formal it's used even less than the full name.
