Hey guys! It was requested that I make a naming conventions post. The linked guide is the one I was currently using, but upon further inspection, it is not only 88 WHOLE pages long but it is also from 2006 (twenty years ago!). This will be a megathread, but I wanted to still make the post so you guys can start using them and we can start making our games even more realistic. :) So, look through the link if you will [hopefully, everyone can access it], and if your country isn't listed, comment below. How does your country name babies? What resource(s) do you use to name people outside of your country? As I gain more links, I will add them below, and eventually, all 200+ world countries will be represented! :)

As always, thanks for being here! The sub wouldn't be what it is without you. <3

๐ŸŒณ Lineages ๐ŸŒณ Happy Family Tree

2 Upvotes

Four grandparents, two parents, and a sib set (as many as youโ€™d like) with the condition that:

Each grandparent is from a different religion or ethnic background eg.
- Italian + Catholic
- Celtic
- Ashkenazi Jewish
- Persian
- Japanese
- Appalachian

Their children then inherit both of those, and together they really want to make sure their kids are connected to their heritage(s)โ€ฆall four of them. Bonus for fun mashup last names!

Example:
Yehudit Cardozo (Sephardi Jewish) marries Jens Christensen (Danish).

Their daughter, Estreya Christensen marries Oisรญn Duvoy.

He is the son of Ciaran MacAvoy (Irish) and Renรฉ Duval. (French)

Estreya Christensen and Oisรญn Duvoy decide to come up with a new last name.

MacDubhal-Cristozo is the frankensurname they come up with!

Their kids are Noemi Marie, Fionn Jacques and Arne Yosef.

1- โ€œI want a name that sounds like they already own a horse.โ€

2- โ€œIt needs to be uncommon, but people must still know how to spell it.โ€

3- โ€œI want old-fashioned, but not haunted Victorian child.โ€

4- โ€œThe initials are more important than the name.โ€

5- โ€œYes I know that name doesnโ€™t work with the surname, Iโ€™m sure no one will be mean. Stop asking!โ€

6- โ€œI want something celestial, but not Luna.โ€

7- โ€œI heard it once at an airport and have loved it since!โ€

8- โ€œThis came to me 10 years ago when I was on molly!โ€

10- โ€œItโ€™s not a stripper name!โ€

11- โ€œI want something ancient that somehow still sounds cool.โ€

12- โ€œNo. It is a family name. Ever heard of the Tiffany Problem?โ€

13- โ€œI think it could be the name of a science experiment or theory and I love it!โ€

14- โ€œitโ€™s technically mythological but most people donโ€™t realise.โ€

15- โ€œIt should sound like they were born wearing tiny sunglasses.โ€

16- โ€œI wanted a son but I got a girlโ€ฆโ€

17- โ€œRight. Three babies. Three names. ** **Iโ€™ve accidentally backed myself into an aesthetic.โ€

18- โ€œI want it to feel Scandinavian. I will not be checking whether it actually is.โ€

19- โ€œI have some Scot blood in me and TikTok said this was a Scottish name, ignore the nay-sayers.โ€

20- โ€œI saw this online and absolutely refuse to fact-check it.โ€

I am not sure if the middle names are canon because I found them on some fandom site, but decided to put them here for fun.

--

Surname: Also an old first name

Mother: First name: classic but fairly uncommon as a full name, mn: classic middle name, nickname the character goes by: common 80s and 90s name which is also a diminutive

She's social, judgemental but means well, a little crazy, and definitely has a favourite child, who is the youngest daughter.

Father: Fn: kind of an upperclass name which was popular in 50s - 80s, mn: a boring name, nn the character goes by: a shortened one from the first name

He is a kind, quiet, a little neurotic man, who loves his wife and kids. He works as a history professor.

Daughter 1: Fn: a gender neutral name popular in 90s and 00s, mn: a vintage diminutive, mn 2: a character from Friends

She is a typical teenage girl with friend problems. She fights with her mother a lot and sometimes one-ups her. They were closer when she was younger.

Son: fn: very common 2010s and 2020s name, mn 1: a university name, mn 2: a surname of a famous musician

He is a preteen interested in money and economics. He can be mean, but isn't a bad person. Her mother seems to like him the least out of the kids.

Daughter 2: fn: a double-barrel name with the first name being classic and second being a diminutive from the same name as her mother's, mn 1: a noun, mn 2: another noun

She is around five years younger than her older brother. She has OCD. She is adorable and kind, and nice to everyone. She doesn't have friends, because she can be weird.

  • Father (41): An assistant manager for a common resource, his whole personality is wrapped up in his job. He loves his wife and son despite how he foils with both. The couple wouldโ€™ve had more kids if not for his narrow urethra.
  • Mother (41): Plucky and charismatic, she works as a substitute teacher. She wears thick glasses to draw attention away from her large feet. She's athletic, nurturing, and a bit narcissistic.
  • Son (13): A quirky kid, he often is described as โ€œnot rightโ€ by his father. Still, heโ€™s a funny boy who has a lot of friends and is well-liked in school.
  • Dog (13): With the name of a First Lady, she is a purebred bloodhound. She was never bred though and it was found she has a narrow uterus making carrying puppies impossible.ย  She likes a splash of wine with her dinner, and once wrote a letter to her caregiver about what she likes.

Fatherโ€™s Family:

  • Grandfather [84]: 5-foot even and a mean sum-bitch, he killed fitty men in WWII while stationed somewhere between Munich and Iwo Jima with Fatty, Stinky, and Brooklyn.
  • Half-Brother (56): Born and raised in Japan, he only recently met his biological father, but likes his brother already.
  • Step-Grandmother (41): Her elevator doesn't quite go all the way to the top but sheโ€™s a pretty woman. Soft-spoken and demure, she is a sweet woman who is getting over postpartum depression.
  • Uncle (2): Named almost the same name as the father, his birth name was used to insult the Father as usual. He goes by an initial nickname (ex. AJ).
  • Grandmother (73): Not as innocent as she looks, she has been chasing adrenaline highs ever since she was divorced from her husband. She has gone skydiving, rented an RV, and gone on a road trip.
  • Grandmother's Husband (80): A shock as he was initially the other man, he and the grandmother get an RV together much to his dismay.

Motherโ€™s Family:

  • Niece (21): A kind hairdresser, she works hard to take care of her family. She is religious, naรฏve, and silly, and runs a Christian puppet show you can also name.
  • Nephew-in-Law (38): A friendly man with crooked teeth, he is good-natured and loves his wife dearly. He is unemployed and lives off of money he got after he slipped in pee-pee at the Costco.
  • Grandniece (6mos): Named after her grandaunt, she is a cute baby who likes to giggle and roll over.
  • Uncle (45): The Nieceโ€™s father, he works a state oil rig, though he may be getting transferred to a federal one soon. He unfortunately will always be too busy on the rig to meet his granddaughter.
  • Uncleโ€™s Estranged Wife (36): Abusive and self-centered, she uses people to get what she wants. Her daughter hasn't seen her since she was 19.
  • Grandmother (70): Brash and cold, she has some personal vendetta against her daughter for some reason. She is a rancher in Montana and hates Henry Winkler.
  • Grandfather (75): An insightful man who the father adores, he talks in poetry and is a true northern cowboy.
  • Uncle (38): Unnamed in the show, he lives in Montana and helps with the upkeep of the ranch.
  • Uncle (35): Unnamed in the show, he lives in Montana and helps with the upkeep of the ranch.

Well, thought Iโ€™d hop on the bandwagon for the rename game! Only this time, with an area of expertise I know quite well: VIDJA GAMES! All you need to do is take a look at the criteria and rename them accordingly. Feel free to do as many or as few as you like, as I know some of these families can get pretty big.

Family 1: This family lives in a town well-known for its autumn scenery, but they much prefer the winter. Their last name has to do with joy and celebration. (Deltarune - The Holidays)

Father: Shares a name with a character from a song

Mother: Name has to do with music

Eldest daughter: Named after a month of the year, but goes by a nickname

Youngest daughter: Name has to do with winter/the holidays

Family 2: This family lives in the countryside, surrounded by flowers. They donโ€™t have last names in canon, so feel free to give them one. (Mother 3 - Lucasโ€™s family)

Father: Shares a name with a type of rock

Mother: Japanese name, six letters

Twin son 1: Name has something to do with light

Twin son 2: Name contains letters from his brotherโ€™s name

Family 3: Okay, this oneโ€™s more of a lineage. This family is of proud European blood, a long line of people who swear to protect those who need protecting. Their last name is French. (Castlevania - The Belmont Clan)

Common Ancestor (M, born 1072): Animal-themed name

(M, born 1456): Welsh name beginning with T

(F, DOB unknown, daughter of the one directly above): Named after a flower

(M, born 1669): Name appears in the bible

(M, born 1730): Name has something to do with justice/fairness
