[QUOTE="Wilphe, post: 1149348, member: 8221"] Aslan names aren't gender specific, well nick names arent't: Formal name would be something like: [I] Hlyueawi Ahroay'ifty Wahtoi Layeauiwahfeaktelihlalalikhtyeiteyahahtaeisiyu"[/I] "Unmarried first son of the the third son of grandfather of the head of the clan which holds the valley of the fork of the Iawhfeal river, part of caln Wahtoi, which is a vessal of clan Aroaye'i, itself a vassal of clan Hlyueaswi" And if you a commoner you get named for whose vassal you are, and if a female for your closest living male relative. Nicknames are chosen for their meaning, and can be changed. Among the ones that seem appropriate: Esouearl "Small Wisdom" - with the implication that the bearer speaks little, but wisely. Eteasteah "Thirty Stars" - normally borne by the well travelled. Hleakhayes "Worldstrider" - ditto Khaulear "64" carries the same emotional baggage as 100 does for humans. The Aslan has done, or wants you to think, that they have done something many times. If you want to know what, ask them. Teauearl "Star Wisdom" - implication that you are far travelled and that your opinion should carry extra weight because of that. Tlankhu "Fifth Consuel" - Implications of thinking outside the box, nearest Galangic would be Jack of All Trades there's two pages of sidebars in Alien Races II with these on GURPS did include random name generation tables and there are a few on line but I get 404 errors when I go into them. If you want a random name I could see what the dice throw up if you want. Aslan dictionary: [url]http://www.ssgfx.com/traveller/language/trokh.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
