One thing is certain, I am going to use the Naming generator for the Raen >_> ….

As for Wind and Darkness, I am undecided on which tribes to go with.

Here's the ones that tempt me the most for Wind's tribe/surname:

Bairon
A middle-sized tribe of the southern deserts and masters of survival in the driest of climes, the Bairon are all trained from a very young age to collect and drink their own bodily fluids, allowing them the ability to venture deep into places no other tribe will.

(Cause a pee-drinking character would simply be hilarious).

Tumet
The children of the Tumet, upon seeing their tenth summer, are tied to a sacred tree while the remainder of the tribe packs up and moves to their next location. Those children who manage to break free from their bonds and catch up with the tribe at that next location, are given a name and allowed into the tribe.

(This one would be a good way to explain how the child was abandoned.)

Dotharl
An extremely violent tribe with members who revel in massacre and are taught from a young age not to fear death. While they are quick to attack other tribes, mortality rates are high, ensuring that their numbers never grow too high.

(This one would be a good way to explain the scorn the other Raen Au Ra have for the child)

Hotgo
A tribe recently massacred by the Dotharl. The only members surviving are those who left the tribe to travel on their own and were not present during the killing. The Hotgo were known for their vibrant face paints which members would constantly change depending on their current mood.

(This one instead would be yet another good way to explain why the child was alone)

Himaa
For reasons unknown, one out of every three pregnancies amongst the Himaa result in twins. As a result, over half the tribe's members have a doppelganger. This can prove an advantage during attacks, as it confuses the enemy into believing the dead have risen.

(This one would be interesting if someone played a twin of the child, but… I'm not gonna ask anyone to)

–––––––––––––––––––––––
As for Darkness, the male, the most viable options are these:

Buduga
An all-male tribe which only increases its ranks through battle and kidnapping.

(Because cool)

Noykin
Master trainers of the wild horses which populate the majority of steppe. It is said that the horsewives of the Noykin can break any beast if given but a week.

(Because horses)

Kagon
The Kagon are a nocturnal desert tribe who worship Nhama, goddess of the moon and mortal enemy of Azim, goddess of the sun. Instructed by their goddess that to step into the sun is to succumb to the evil of Azim, they spend the daylight hours in their tents, only emerging to hunt and migrate at night. The result is an uncharacteristically pale skin for a group of people living in an almost eternally fair-weather locale.

(Because he's pale, I guess? Though I'm iffy at RPing someone so similar to Jet'a.)

Goro
The Goro believe horses to be perfect beings, and each male and female, upon their coming of age, is married to a horse of the opposite sex. Reproductive mates are chosen by lots.

(Because it'd be hilarious if he pointed at a horse and said "Meet my Wife")

I'll think about it.

Luckily for you, Aki seems to be on the period-appropriate lis(clicky here)t that someone pulled up on the RPC.

Me… I might be having to rethink Kotone's name. Which is fine, I suppose – easy enough to fix at this point. I'm going between "Haru", "Kiku", and "Miya". Surnames, 100% going to just random-name-generate on that. I'm disappointed that it's not going to be what we've already seen from NPC's…

I still like Tsukuyomi

unsure.

Are these names really at most 5 letters long? If the idea is to combine them, then either Tsunayone or Tatsuyone for me.

That or Tatsuyone which would in theory combine wealth and cute doll.

SE says: The names that we’ve decided to go with for Final Fantasy XIV, are based off of ones that were prevalent between the 16th and 18th centuries.

Looking at some resources, yeah the short names were the style back in that time period for women, commoners and nobles/aristocrats alike. The 'exception' to this for nobles/aristocrats was that they would incorporate their titles into their name. Beyond that, though longer names didn't start coming back until the later part of the 18th century, and even then it was just the addition of a suffix.

In the end, it's a case of "do what you want", I suppose, but someone somewhere is likely to think or comment that it's not a lore-abiding name.

Okay, so to help out a bit, i renamed my character to Luna Naeuri (though no one will know her surname prior to her real full name, only Luna) for now. I've also spit out this from the random name generator for you to view at your leasure and give ideas. Have fun.

Yachiyo Fukiku
Kotokaze Naeuri
Chigusa Obinata
Narumi Kurogane
Kurenai Gunji
Tobana Bugai
Sayo Kodakumi
Ayame Kaujin
Kozakura Daisho
Enrei Tsuwamono
Komachi Edakumi
Koharu Shikibu
Isuka Tanshi
Mana Yumishi
Kaede Riokuyari
Mahiwa Urabito

Thinking Luna's real name might be Narumi, Koharu or Mana. (not likely the latter) We'll see. Tatsuyone or Tsunayone will be seen less often on others who chose random generator, but we'll see.
