Nomenclature Among Regions of Vär Mäne

a blurb on naming

RILLBOURNE

Rillbourne is populated mostly by Beastfolk and Coda. These two species are deeply ingrained with an appreciation of the natural world and are less removed from the primality of their ancestors. Names inspired by flora, fauna, and other ecological features are extremely common and most socially encouraged in this riverside demonion. First names, but most commonly surnames, will be taken after flowers, trees, fruits, vegetables, nuts, bodies of water, shells, and woodland creatures. 

Character and miscellaneous name examples: 

Roewan Dogwood (a woody plant)

Tiberan Violet (a flower)

Olive (a fruit)

Wittrockiana (scientific name for a flower)

Rivard (river)

NEW ESDOORN

New Esdoorn takes a similar approach to Rillbourne with many names being ecologically inspired. Esdoorians also prefer simple, bookish names that reflect their regard for politeness and practicality. Names referring to holidays and historical events are also common here as Esdoorians have a great love for annual celebrations.

Acorn Sparrowwing (a stone fruit, a bird)

PORTOBELLO

Portobello, being founded and populated mostly by Elves, follows conventional elvish naming. Though, over time, Portobello has developed its own regional quirks to their nomenclature. Elvish names are passed down through families through thousands of years, being added to depending on the House an elf is born into or joins, historical events that occur, and crafts that an elf may choose to master. It is also common for elves to be named after significant historical figures, most of the time this name being a part of their first name or their middle name. As Elves value grace, skill, intellect, longevity, and greatness, their names are meant to reflect these traits and feelings. In Portobello, names have shortened as there were many elves who left the Achilles Isles and settled in Portobello in order to start anew. Following the trend of the dominions founder, names have also taken inspiration from fungi and mycelium
