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 ooo yay, thanks!
@lizardsquid OH! and the Hawaiian naming convention is AWESOME. :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_name
@mawr yesss this is amazing!!!!
also way more natural of a system - give everyone a single unique name
