Elemental Naming Conventions

Elemental Naming Conventions are a strictly followed series of rules by which all Elemental children in the United Elemental Nations are named after. Children are not allowed to have a Patron Ceremony without a proper name, and since Patron Ceremonies are required by all communities in the UEN, it makes it impossible to get around the conventions.

The Rules
Depending on the Elemental type, there is a small variation in the naming conventions, though they all follow the same basic patterns, which are as follows: "Child's First Name + Parental Affix + Mother/Father's First Name"The Parental Affix depends on two things: one, the child's gender, and two: the child's Elemental type. For girls, it will either be ta (for Taryes), fa (for Pyeris), sa (for Hwouns), and ya (for Ayera). For boys, it will be tu (for Taryes), fu (for Pyeris), su (for Hwouns), and yu (for Ayera).

For the final part of the name, girls take on their father's first name, while boys take on their mother's.

Mixed-Elementals
For mixed Elementals, they take on the Parental Affix of the parent of the opposite gender. For example, the daughter of a Tarye mother and an Ayera father would take on the affix "ya" as opposed to "ta."
