thinking about alternative naming schemes for humans

examples from real life:

* English-style: Given Middle Family
* Iceland-style: Given (Middle?) (Father's Given)(gender marker)
* Japan-style: Family Given

and that's all I know - what are some other (real or fictional) naming systems?

@lizardsquid Indian style is really neat and I haven't quite wrapped my head around it. It's so varied there-- and it's near completely incompatible with English naming conventions. ^^;;

@mawr yesss this is amazing!!!!

also way more natural of a system - give everyone a single unique name
