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 Hebrew (and Arabic?) is

Given [gender maker] (Father's Given)

In modern religious contexts, some of the liberal traditions have expanded that to
Given [gender marker] (Father's Given) ["and"] (Mother's Given)

(But that's definitely not everyday use.)

@lizardsquid OOH. Also, iirc ASL (and other sign languages??) have a very Chosen Name type thing? Which is worth looking into.
