Wordlbuidling Nonsense 

@lizardsquid so in my fantasy world humans are the only species that can function as like "boom fireball wizard"

this is only because of careful breeding over centuries, so you have your name as follows {Fathers House} {Mothers House} {Given Name} {Title or Nickname, Usually what your friends call you over your given name} {Power}

The power being referred to is your bloodlines channeling ability, which is rated """""Scientifically"""""" by a special part of their society

@Gaypow it's not, this is amazing!!!

can I boost it?

@mawr yesss this is amazing!!!!

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

tea and hot chocolate are on par

@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. ^^;;

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_f

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?
