Especially for the peeps who made places in the New World, y'know?
Well, it goes like this. First off, there was Ferocious who messed up on Kaezian tribe names. Then Duckers (or Kezzy/Kez-yah at least) wasn't sure about Kreshi names. And now I'm stuck thinking up names for Pyrian charries.
Soyeah.
I was thinking that those peeps who had the time or inclination ought to include a small section at least on the "typical" names of their races. Because, well, I don't want to see any, say, Lina as a drow name. And it's kinda hard coming up with names that sound suitable if you don't know what suitable is, y'know?

Hm, I think we don't really have anywhere Asian-y yet, so we should go with common names of... China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, or maybe some SE Asian countries. Roman stuff is more Aquarian. Actually, Mediterranean names in general should be Aquarian.

Chinese names are hard if you simply just translate them, y'know? Take mine, for example. Lam Wei-Ching. I suppose it could be Lin Wei-Ching though. Or some random star. Sit Hoi-Kei or something.
Not the best names for peoples in MI that I can think of.

I think those would sound cool, personally. And I'd like to amend what I said earlier. Aquarians have Greekish names, Minotaurs have Romanish names.

They would?! 0.o Oh well. At least now I've got a good source for my names.
Personally, I use simple, one/two syllable-esque names (Kreem, Aks, J'aau) or Roman/modified version of Roman names (Fulcinius or something, for example) for Nul-Nessaran, Pyrian and Raza's birdies names.

Rather than full names, why not just use one character only? Mei, Yun, Ming, Liang...

See, those would work a lot better. I agree, Quasi.
