As spyscribe said, there is a naming convention for Noran, but it's fairly unconventional and it's cribbed from something a friend of mine did.  Bonus cookies to anyone who figures it out.As for Moira, well, her surname may sound French, but there are surely people with French names somewhere in the Halmae (Italian, German, English, Greek, Norwegian, Japanese, and Arabic names have all been assigned already. I haven't figured out exactly where the French names are yet, but then, not every region of the world has been detailed yet).  Besides, Moira's last name is not necessarily the one she was born with.  It's derived from her goddess's name. She was left as a child with the Alirrian Givers of Life.  The Alirrian Church is more her family than anything else. When she gave herself a new name, it's perfectly reasonable to think that she adjusted it, based on customs she encountered in her travels.As for poker, well, see the above conversation about months and dates.</blockquote>
