Having trouble coming up with names that go with lore?

  • Look no further I shall help by giving examples and what not

    First

    Altmer-

    Male- Aldaril, Anarenen,Carecalmo, Caryarel,Eraamion, Erundil,Faelian, Falcar, Gerrick,Gilgondorin,Halion, Henantier.

    Females-Arquen, Aryarie, Ciralinde, Culumaire, Elenwen, Erissare,Faire, Fistelle, Helende, Hession, Iirenoore, Imare, Iniel, Irinwe, Lorurmend, Mirkrand,

    Now some info Altmers usually do not have family names but some do and from what I've seen very few or no names start with the letter B.

     

    Argonian names are a little different 

    Males-Asum, Bunish, Busheeus, Chalureel, Chiwish,Gam-Kur, Geel-Lah, Haj-Ei, Han-Tulm, Heem-La,Stream-Murk, Swims-In-Swells, Ten-Tongues' Weerhat, Tongue-Toad

    Females-Beelei, Beewos, Bejeen, Deetsan, Druja,Kud-Ei, Mach-Na, Seed-Neeus, Sheer Meedish,On-Staya Sundew, Runs-In-Circles, Tall-Trees-Falling

    nor does this race have a last name

     

    Bosmer

    Male-Aengoth, Agarond, Allimir, Alveleg, Amring, Anglalos, Anruin, Arannir, Arathor, Baradras, Berengeval, Bolrin, Bragor, Brallion, Brithroth, Brolmir,Caenlin, Caenlorn, Cingaer, Cingor, Daenlin, Dervenin, Engorm, Enilroth, Eridor, Erthor, Fimmion, Fithragaer, Foroch, Gelephor

    Female-Selene, Ulandra,Laenafil, Laralthir, Mandil, Methredhel, Nilawen, Parwen, Syl

    same as the Altmers they do not have family names

     

    Breton

    Male and female names are pretty easy they are just like French names

     

    Dunmer 

    When it comes to Dunmer there are two different types there are ones considered Ashlanders that have believed they were betrayed by the Tribunal and do not believe in their power

    Male-Ralas Hlaal, Baltis Llervu, Sarel Velandas, Galvon Redoran, Endar Telvanni, Neven Hlaram, Arvas Drevan, Taras Verano, Rilen Indoran, Valen Dreth

    Female- Llathala Alor, Dravona Ralas, Tilse Areleth, Melisi Daren, Varona Nelas, Voldsea Giryon, Brevasu Heran, Monesa Salen

    Male Ashlanders- Ninirrasour, Nirait, Nund, Odaishah, Ohibaal, Patababi, Patus

    Female Ashlanders- Yanibi, Yenabi, Zaba, Zabi, Zanummu, Zennammu, Zula

    and all Dunmers have Family names

     

    Imperials 

    male and females are based off of Roman names so its easy as that

     

    Kahjiit

    Males now for the males mostly have prefixes before the name and these are some of them 

    Dar = Thief, clever

    Do = Warrior

    Dro = Grandfather/Grandmother

    J/Ja/Ji = Bachelor, Young Adult

    Jo = Wizard, Scholar

    M/Ma = Child, Apprentice, also used to imply virginity

    Qa = Unknown

    Ra = Shows Status

    Ri = Status, often tribal leader

    S = Adult

    now examples Dro'Zhirr, J'Dato, J'Dhannar

    Females- Kishashi, Nahsi, Ra'jhera, S'fara, S'jirra, S'kasha

     

    Nords

    So far we can guess what they are like but the Nords also do not usually have a Family name instead they have Titles like Hammerfall, The Slayer and stuff like that

     

    Redguards

    They seem to share names that seem african or of Middle eastern nature and they also rarely have family names but if they do its usually through marriage uh ohhhhhhh

     

    Orcs

    the final race Males and Females have prefixes before their family names for males gro and for Females gra examples

    Male- Shurkah gro-Shalgak, Mulkah gro-Orgum, Burzak gro-Borbog

    Females- Surbab gra-Shalgak, Lazoga gra-Orgum, Brabog gra-Borbog

    there you go I hope it helps and if you have any questions or would like me to make some crazy name for you just message me :D
