4 Foreword by Paul Tevis What s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What s in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call d, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. --Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene 2 Shakespeare is, of course, pulling our leg on this one. I find it difficult to believe that a man who wrote plays about a missing princess named Perdita (from the Italian word for loss ), a suicidal girl named Ophelia (from the Greek for help ), and a villain named Iago (a Spanish variant of James, from the Hebrew meaning he who supplants ) really thought that names don t matter. After all, good names take a long time to come up with. Given his rehersal schedule, if Shakespeare really believed this nonsense he would have had a lot more plays with characters named Bob. Like Shakespeare, I love names, and I understand their importance in creating an appropriate dramatic mood. (Unlike Shakespeare, I m not a genius, but you work with what you ve got.) Names are an important part of my games. When I m putting together a campaign setting, one of the first things I go for is a name list. Am I running a Viking game? Then I ve got to have Viking names. Finding the right name for a character is not only critical to my process of fixing the character in my head, but sometimes it lets me pull cute tricks. One of my recent games involved the largely bilingual culture of fifth century Britain. Certain of the nobles from lesser-romanized regions were known by two or three different names: a Celtic birth name, a Latinized version of the Celtic name, and sometimes a completely Romanized name. As a result, I was able to subtly hint at characters opinions about the High King depending on whether they called him Wortigernos, Vortigern, or Vitalinus. Much to my delight, the players did the same thing. Take that, High King Bob. iv - Story Games Names Project

5 Many of my favorite game books have name lists in them already. Often, that s what makes them my favorites, as it s much easier to get a sense of what a game world is like if you know what the people in it are called. Sometimes, though, you re left without such a resource, either because the game doesn t include it or because you re transplanting the system into a completely different setting. That s where this book comes in. Jason Morningstar, a man who clearly understands the value of an evocative name, got the idea of harnessing the awesome might of Story-Games.com, a community of story-oriented gamers, to put together a whole book of name lists drawn from different cultures. This volume is the fruit of that effort, and I have to say I m impressed with the results. I knew about the project, but until Jason asked me to write this introduction I hadn t realized that in amongst the more pedestrian Byzantine Greek and Sengalese lists were gems like Creepy Campus, Owlbear, and Ridiculous Hobo. There s tons of great inspiration here, and hardly a Bob among them. So, there you go. You get twenty names per list, a number which is neither too few nor too many and is easily selected from via a random method, if you know what I mean. Take these lists and flavor your games with them. Because you, Shakespeare, and I know, there s nothing worse than an owlbear named Bob. Story Games Names Project - v

10 Fantastical Names Story Games Names Project - 1

11 1001 Nights Compiled by Meguey Baker These names are taken from the 1001 Nights collected by Andrew Lang, with a few additions. If you feel the need for a character with a full name, an easy way is to choose Name ibn Father s Name for a male and Name bint Father s Name for a female. Being known only as Ibn Father s Name would be common and fi ne. Name al-adjective (as the Lionhearted, the Bald etc.) is very common for men, far less so for women. Adding Baba before a name is a handy familiar honorifi c, as Uncle would be. Women are often honored as Umm (mother of) Child s Name, Name. For nobility, Amir and Amira for Prince and Princess is easy. A number of lists are listed which can be transformed into surnames. Simply add the prefi x al- and take off the suffix -i, except as noted.

21 Englishy Compiled by Joshua BishopRoby The given names below are stereotypical English fi rst names. The eight lists starting on the right are intended to be used together. The lists contain common parts of names used in England for place names, surnames, noble domains, and occasionally fi rst names. Names are created by taking two or three (or sometimes four) parts and putting them together. When creating a name, you can add an s or in between any of your selected parts. The name-parts are labeled with hyphens at their ends if they usually begin names, at their beginnings if they usually end names, and at their beginnings and ends if they can be used for either or used in the middle of a name. The meaning of each name-part is listed in parentheses. For instance, you could combine Nicholas with Brin- (burnt), -kirk (church), cam- (twisted), and -wright (builder) to create Nicholas Brinkirk-Camright.

24 Complied by Arref Mak With inspirations by Roger Zelazny s Lord Demon Immortal Fae do not give out their names, so they take artistic syllables that are suggestive riddles and clues to who they really are (if you know a hundred languages and dozens of cultures you might see the clues.) Three syllables are usually used for the beauty of the asymmetry in a formal naming; the last two syllables are not a clan/blood/ family name. No signature syllable like fae, fey, fai, or such is used at all. These sounds mean power and refer to the entire race.

54 Tattooed Land Compiled by Shreyas Sampat The tattooed land is so-called because it marks its people; a family who is settled there acquires an earthmark, some brand that can t be washed away or displaced. The land becomes a part of them. Priests in the tattooed land, much like some sects of Buddhist monks, take religious names; they refer to virtuous or terrible things, to remind the faithful of what to fear or emulate. Religious names are unisex, even when they appear not to be (Yellow King, for instance). The sound of these names is patterned after Turkish and Mongolian. They re also appropriate for Torchbearer.

68 Arabic Compiled by Eric J. Boyd Arabic names are composed of several parts: ( The ism - A personal proper name given shortly after birth. The male and female names listed below can all serve as isms. Adults are seldom referred to by these names, and it is an insult to refer to your elders by their ism. ( The kunya - An honorifi c as the father or mother of someone. Consists of Abu (father of) [Name] or Umm (mother of) [Name]. The name inserted is always that of the father or mother s fi rst born son. Married persons are usually referred to by their kunyas. When writing out a full name, the person s kunya always precedes their ism. ( The nasab - A name showing that you are the son (ibn or sometimes bin) or daughter (bint) of your father or prior generation male relative. When included in a nasab, a kunya is converted to Abi instead of Abu (e.g., Ibn Abi Talib). A nasab follows the ism when listing a person s full name and generally does not go back more than one or two generations. ( The laqab - A religious epithet or descriptive name. Usually one in the form of Abdul (Servant of - male) or Amatul (Servant of - female) followed by one of the 99 names of Allah. Laqabs follow the ism. In some cases, a laqab can serve as an ism for a person, fulfi lling its role in their name. ( The nisba - A name indicating occupation, tribe of descent, or geographical origin. Generally follows the ism or nasab, if there is one. Not all of these pieces need to be used in any one person s name. Mix and match as you see fi t for good Arabian fl avor. When a modern Arab person s name is Westernized to a given name and surname, it is usually an ism and either nasab or nisba that are used.

72 Brazilian Compiled by Jason Morningstar and Moyra Turkington From wiki/list_of_most_common_surnames: Most of Brazilian surnames derive from Portuguese surnames. When someone s surname was unknown, not verifi able or considered unpronounceable in Portuguese language, their surname was usually registered as da Costa when living near the sea coast or da Silva (from the forest) if lived inland. The surname dos Santos (from the saints) was given to orphan children.

76 Chinese Compiled by Jonathan Walton Westerners encounter Chinese names in a variety of different formats, based on: which transliteration system (pinyin, Wade-Giles, HK government, some improvised system) is being used, which dialect the name is being transcribed from (Mandarin, Cantonese, Fukien), which order the various parts of the name (surname, given name, English name) are put in. Let s deal with the last issue first, since it s the most complex. ORDERING CHINESE NAMES Traditional: Surname + Given Name = Liang Jiawei / Leung Chiu-wai Traditional HK Style: Anglo Name + Surname + Given Name = Tony Leung Chiu-wai Short Flipped HK Style: Anglo Name + Surname = Tony Leung Long Flipped HK Style: Anglo Name + Given Name + Surname = Tony Chiu-wai Leung SPACE, NO SPACE, HYPHEN, APOSTROPHE? If you have a two-character given name (or a rare two-character surname), you can either put a space between the characters and capitalize both (Chiu Wai), hyphenate them and capitalize just the fi rst one or both (Chiu-wai / Chiu-Wai), not have any divider between them at all (Jiawei), or, if there s the possibility that running them together might cause them to be read incorrectly, you can put an apostrophe between the two characters (Ji nan vs. Jin an). Which method you use also has cultural considerations. People from HK and Taiwan (and Macao, and Singapore) love hyphens. Hyphenate that bad boy and be done with it. But they re not always consistent, so you could do it another way, if you prefer. People from the mainland tend to run the characters together and use apostrophes in the rare cases where they might be necessary. Usually you don t need a divider (Mao Zedong, Zhu Rongji, Deng Xiaoping). Some people prefer to space all the characters out (Deng Xiao Ping), but this is much less common. Chinese people in other parts of the world (the diaspora) are not especially consistent. Look up a bunch of Chinese names in the area you want your character to be from and punctuate your name accordingly Story Games Names Project

77 Chinese CHINESE SURNAMES There is a limited list of commonly-encountered Chinese surnames, numbering around 500. Most of these are a single character, but two-character surnames do exist and are especially popular for dramatic personae because of their unusual fl avor. The 20 most common surnames account for around 50% of the population, which is why you encounter so many people named Wang, Li, Zhang, Liu, Huang, Zhao, Ma, etc. The 100 most common surnames account for about 85% of Chinese people everywhere.

78 Chinese CHINESE GIVEN NAMES Chinese given names are either one or two characters and can be almost anything. However, in practice, most character combinations don t make good names. Developing a sense of what is and isn t a good name can be diffi cult if you are not in an environment where you know thousands of Chinese people and can infer good names from those you already know. There are names that are clearly female, those that are clearly male, and those that are ambiguous. Generally, female names are often related to fl owers, birds, beauty, and other feminine things. Male names are often abstract virtues (strength, diligence, wherewithal). Some given names either are or sound like verb-object combinations or other grammatical phrases, like seeks truth or bright future. Not all of them make that kind of grammatical sense. My Chinese name means strong life, but no one would actually use that character combination in a sentence. a) Generational Names Traditionally, all family members of a specifi c generation (you, your siblings, and your cousins) might share the fi rst character of their given name. Li Mubai, for example, might have a cousin named Li Murong. The next generation would have a different generational character in their name. Sometimes these characters, when written together, form a poem or admonition. Generational names are not especially common in modern times (partially due to the One Child Policy), but you do run into them occasionally, with cousins. Soon, however, most urban people won t have cousins. b) Birth Order Names Way, way back, the fi rst character of your given name was often an indication of what order you were born in. This practice is even less common than generational names, but sometimes a family will decide to be old fashioned. Still, let s not deal with it Story Games Names Project

81 Chinese ANGLO NAMES Many Chinese people have adopted or been given English names, especially those living abroad, those living in Hong Kong or Macao, and those who regularly interact with Westerners. Usually, the names chosen are common, somewhat old-fashioned, and diminutive (often ending in -y or -ie ) Anglo-American names, so they sound ultra-anglo, even more Anglo than the Anglos. Hence the prevalence of Jackie, Jay, Faye, Sammi, Jimmy, Kelly, Johnny, Tony, Andy, etc. The names of Chinese people born on foreign soil (and, thus, native citizens of non-chinese countries) are not always so cutesy, but Chinese parents do seem to pick names that are especially common and familiar, trying to stand out as little as possible.

95 Compiled by Moyra Turkington French names consist of one or more given names followed by a surname. Names of saints are particularly favoured. Surnames are most often occupational, descriptive, patronymic or geographical. Sometimes, an alias surname is adopted to distinguish individuals with particularly common names. When this is done, the alias is either used on its own or presented following the actual surname with the prefi xed preposition dit (de) (E.g. Vioget dit Galliard ) or is used all on it s own.

101 Compiled by Adam Kleizer and Jason Morningstar In Hungary, the surname is placed fi rst. A woman s formal name is constructed from her husband s name by adding a suffi x (-né) to his given name. So Mr. Molnár Jakab s wife would be Molnár Jakabné in polite company, but perhaps Anna at home. Hungarian aristocrats names during the Austro-Hungarian imperial period contained a German given name, von and the family name. Example: Johann von Báthory. Of course unoffi cially they used the Hungarian form of their names. (Báthory János in our example.)

114 Korean Compiled by Clinton R. Nixon Korean names are constructed as family name then given name. Family names are passed down through a male lineage, but women do not change their names when married, except outside of Korea. 45% of all South Koreans have the family name of Kim, Park, or Lee. The distribution of names is not nearly as heterogeneous as in many other cultures. In fact, there are only about 250 family names total. Because of this distribution, the above chart is made so that one could easily roll 4d6-4 on the common family name chart to get a name, with Kim being the most common result. (Rolling a zero would send you to the rare family names chart.) Each family name is composed of three to six clans, with each clan being a historical topographical origin of that name. Up until recently, it was illegal to marry someone of your same clan. This is still discouraged by traditionalists, as all clan members share a slight blood tie. Incest is one of the most heinous and unthinkable of all crimes in Korean culture.

115 ANCIENT SURNAMES These are taken from early Korean history, with a pretty wide range of years. They are in no way an actual representation of a particular time period, but would work well for a fantastic Korean historical setting. GIVEN NAMES Korean given names have many rules behind them. The most important is that one syllable of a typical two-syllable name is carried throughout a family. For example, a father and his two sons and one of their sons might be Kim Du Ho, Kim Ho Jin, Kim Dak Ho, and Kim Kwang Ho. Whether the syllable is used as the fi rst or second syllable does not particularly matter.

119 Compiled by Shreyas Sampat and Mischa D. Krilov, with thanks to Neil Bardhan Adam Dray Noël Grabow S. Ben Melhuish Moyra Turkington and Aparnaa Seshadri North Indian Hindu The bulk of these names are ones you might hear walking around in Mumbai in the modern day; they come from a variety of northern languages, such as Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, and Marathi. The folkloric ones are less common, and more clearly Sanskrit-derived; older people are more likely to have such names. European and south Indian names are not unheard of either. Naming practices vary immensely by language and region. In the vicinity of Mumbai, people often follow the English practice of taking a fi rst name and a family name, inherited down the male line; this family name is frequently a caste term. Middle names are frequently the father or husband s fi rst name. Another common practice is to take the father s name as a family name; for instance, Vikranth Sumanjit (abbreviated S. Vikranth) is the son of D. Sumanjit, and so on. The list has a Hindu bias. Muslims use these names as well, although they also use Arabic names and surnames. Some of the family names, all in SURNAMES 1, are Hindu religious names; Muslims are unlikely to have these. The folkloric lists are also filled with religious names. Story Games Names Project - 111

126 Portuguese Compiled by João Mendes and Ana Carrilho The male and female names and surnames are both common and culturally signifi cant in modern day Lisbon, Portugal, and are probably representative of the rest of the country as well. By the same token, virtually all of them were in use during the maritime expansion era (15th-17th centuries), which will probably be more signifi cant. Additionally, we ve included a short list of male and female names that were way more common back then than they are now.

133 Russian Compiled by James Holloway and Eric Provost Russian names consist of a fi rst name, a patronymic (otchestvo), and a family name. The patronymic is the name of the individual s father, with a suffi x indicating gender. For example, if Ivan Petrovich Ivanov had a son and named him Boris, the boy would be Boris Ivanovich Ivanov. A daughter might be named Lyudmila Ivanovna Ivanova -- note that the surname is gendered as well. In the case of surnames ending in -sky, the feminine form is -skaya. Name etiquette is more complex than in English: to use all three names is very formal. Using only the fi rst name and patronymic ( well done, Arkady Borisovich! ) usually indicates good relations, while using only the fi rst name is familiar. Most Russian names have nicknames, which may have further diminutives. Yekaterina Bogdanovna Vasilievskaya might be Katya to relatives and close friends, but even more familiarly, she might be Katenka, Katyusha, or Katyushka. A wide range of possible nicknames exist in addition to the ones listed below.

138 Spanish Compiled by Arturo González-Escribano, with thanks to Moyra Turkington General Name Structure The following guidelines about Spanish names construction does not try to be absolutely complete or precise. There are always exceptions and particular uses. However, they will help you to quickly recognize and construct consistent names of almost any common type. In Spain a normal name is formed by a fi rst name and two surnames: a) Nomb: Nombre (First name) b) AP: Apellido paterno (the fi rst surname of the father) c) AM: Apellido materno (the fi rst surname of the mother) Name = Nomb AP AM e.g. Ramón González Rodríguez All offi cial identifi cation cards, passports, and commercial transactions must be signed with the fi rst name and the two surnames. Composed surnames Either AP or AM, or both, may be formed by two basic surnames separated by de (meaning of ). In this case, AP and AM are separated by y (meaning and ) to distinguish them clearly. It is not so com- mon but not rare. Name = Nomb AP1 de AP2 y AM; E.g. Ramón López de Uribe y Requejo Name = Nomb AP y AM1 de AM2; E.g. Ramón Requejo y López de Uribe Surnames with de Some Spanish surnames begin with a preposition such as del, or de la, or de los (meaning approximately from or of ). The different versions are male, female, or neutral gender respectively. The proper form is chosen depending on the genre of the word used as surname (which may be of course different from the person s genre). Name = Nomb [del de la de los] AP [del de la de los] AM e.g. María del Valle Gómez e.g. Juan Blanco de la Madrid e.g. Lucía de la Granja del Olmo e.g. Juan de los Hoyos García Composed first names There are fi rst names composed of two or even several normal ones. The most common combinations are based in catholic relevant characters and saints, but there are many others based on the most common fi rst names. There are also many male names formed by any com Story Games Names Project

139 mon male fi rst-name followed by the name of the Virgin Mary. Some female names are formed following the same guidelines. e.g. Jesús María (Male) e.g. Luís María (Male) e.g. Ana María (Female) e.g. María Isabel (Female) e.g. Francisco Javier (Male) e.g. Jorge Javier (Male) e.g. Luís Antonio (Male) e.g. Antonio Jesús (Male) A special very common female name is formed by the name or the Virgin Mary and Jesus: e.g. María Jesús (Female) First names including de The fi rst name may also contain two parts separated by de or de la or de los. This is typical in female names based in the Virgin Mary name (based in the name of a famous local image or in the virgin attributes). e.g. María de los Dolores e.g. María de la Concepción e.g. María del Valle Colloquially and even formally, the particles in the middle are easily lost: e.g. María Dolores (colloquial or formal) e.g. María Concepción (colloquial or formal) e.g. Mari-Valle (only colloquial) Spanish Moreover, it is normal that people with these names do not use their full names, except for identifi cation upon authorities request. In normal life they only use the second part of it: e.g. Dolores e.g. Valle e.g. Concepción This use was so common that nowadays, many female children are given offi cial names with only the second part. Some of them are common, others have never lost the original Maria fi rst part. Some examples of common names which are now typically found alone: e.g. Concepción e.g. Esperanza e.g. Piedad Abbreviations The most frequent Spanish names usually have well known colloquial abbreviations or substitutions, sometimes not related to the original name. Some examples: e.g. Francisco = Paco (or its diminutive Paquito ) e.g. José = Pepe (or its diminutive Pepito ) e.g. (María de los) Dolores = Lola (or its diminutive Lolita ) e.g. (María de la) Concepción = Concha (or its diminutive Conchita, or even Conchi ) Story Games Names Project - 131

140 Spanish Marriage and heritage In modern Spain normal people keep their surnames (with their own apellido paterno and apellido materno ) no matter if they get married or not. Women are never using the husband surname or surnames. Only nobility and conservative old aristocratic families keep such uses. Sometimes, in special cases mainly related to the heritage of an important wealth or signature belonging to the mother, some people may ask the authorities to reverse the order of their surnames. This allows heirs of the second generation to use the surname associated with the heritage. The surnames of the mother are otherwise lost in the second generation. In special situations people may ask the central authorities for a complete change in their surnames, although it is uncommon. Using one surname unofficially In non-formal situations people may use only one apellido for brevity. Indeed, it is typical that sports, political and cultural celebrities are known by only one surname, typically the fi rst one. Dashed surnames abroad A dash is not used to separate surnames in Spain. Only in very exceptional cases the parts of a composed surname are joined by a dash. However, a dash is used sometimes when Spanish people need to use their names abroad. This avoid other people to get confused and think that the apellido paterno is part of the first name: e.g. María García Barbosa may write her name as María García- Barbosa when sending a paper to an international journal, or when attending a conference in England to avoid getting a badge reading: M.G. Barbosa instead of M. García Barbosa.

160 Compiled by Jessica Hammer If using these names in a medieval setting, the appropriate form for a last name is an Arab-style patronymic. Men have names like Iken ibn Tariq, and women names like Geduda bint Amina. Names of the form al- are also perfectly reasonable. The greatest heroine of the Berber people, for example, is Dihya al-kahina. In a more modern setting, European-style surnames are appropriate.

For that reason, their arts are mostly the portable and useful kind, such as weaving rugs and baskets. However, the symbology put into their works has mystical signifi cance within the culture. The meaning of a work is equally as important as its skill.

164 Byzantine Greek Compiled by Jessica Hammer Byzantine names consisted of a given name followed by one or more surnames (which could include both inherited names and patronymics). By-names or descriptive names were also sometimes used in addition to - but not instead of - inherited names and patronymics. Women used feminized forms of these names. A very large number of middle- and sur-names could be included in a Byzantine name, such as in the actual historical example of John Doukas Angelos Palaiologos Raoul Laskaris Tornikes Philanthropenos Asanes. However, in common use, only those names which were politically or socially convenient were actually used. For example, names which indicated relationships to famous families would often be used, while those that were of lesser-blooded families would be omitted. Male Names A typical male name might look like this: Ioannes Doukas Laskaris ho Pontikoctonous This name means: John whose mother is of the Doukas, whose father is of the Laskaris, known as The Rat-Slayer. If you don t know enough Greek to construct your own bynames, there s nothing wrong with just introducing them in English, as for example: Ioannes Doukas Laskaris the Rat-Slayer MALE NAMES Christophoros Ioannes Konstantinos Makarios Niphon Theodoulos Alexandros Bardas Andreas Gregoras Alexios Nikolaos Phillipos Theodoros Iakobos 1 Leontios 1 Nikodemos 1 Basileios Petros Andronikos Story Games Names Project - 157

165 Byzantine Greek Female Names A typical female name might look like this: Maria Angelina Palaiologina This name means: Maria whose father s name was Palaiologos and who had someone named Angelina in her family. To feminize family names, convert endings as follows: -es, -is, -on, and -os to -ina -nos to -ne -tes to -tissa -as to -ina (but drop the s first) SURNAMES 1 Dalassenos Gabras Komnenos Melachrinos Doukas Asanes Limpidares Balsamon Koresses Trichas Tzamplakon Zarides Skleros Adrianos Palaiologos 1 Chrysaphes 1 Aprenos 1 Eirenikos Kaloethes Paraspondylos FEMALE NAMES Maria Anna Eugenia Xene Leonta Thomais Theodora Eirene Helene Elaiodora Ioanna Eudokia Simonis Zoe Theodosia 1 Dragna 1 Stania 1 Theofana Christina Xanthe SURNAMES 2 Choumnos Glabas Kontostephanos Agallon Boumbalis Sgouros Tagaris Mouzalon Laskaris Manouelites Argyros Kalamanos Chrysoloras Doukas Tsaphas 1 Pleustes 1 Angelos 1 Philanthropenos Sebastopoulos Rossatas Story Games Names Project

167 Catalan Compiled by Alex Fradera Catalonia, a territory of Spain falling between Valencia to the South, Aragon to the West, France to the North and the Mediterranean to the East, developed as a culture during the rule of the Counts of Barcelona in the 9th Century, and leaving the French kingdom in the 13th. It was a thriving area of the Mediterranean with its own distinctive fl avour. Catalan is a language with much common to both French and Spanish, and sounds a little like a less lyrical Italian. Like French, J and G are both soft, and C can be also; however, the words do not end silently and the emphasis / pacing of the words is similar to Spanish. Modern Catalan employs the combination of paternal and maternal names (in that order) seen also in Spanish, separated by a y. However, it may be that this practise was imported from Spanish tradition and law as I have not found any medieval names that follow this pattern. Female names marked with an asterisk are from the 12th century. Female names are underdocumented in the historical record.

178 Doukhobor Compiled by Moyra Turkington The Doukhobors ( spirit wrestlers ) were a Russian Christian sect who refused when Tsar Nicolas II demanded an oath of allegiance, refused mandatory service in the military and emigrated en masse to Canada (mostly to Saskatchewan and British Columbia) in the early 1900 s. Some Doukhobor families had two names - an offi cial surname and an unoffi cial family nickname which sometimes became the family surname within generations. Included are fi rst names, their Canadianized equivalents and some of the most lasting Dukhobor surnames. Thanks to doukhobor.org for Doukhobor geneaology research online.

182 Ethiopian Compiled by Moyra Turkington Names are comprised of a personal name followed by the personal name of the person s father or grandfather. A child s surname is the personal name of the father rather than an inherited surname (e.g. Lebne Azmera, son of Azmera Kifl e). Women do not necessarily change their name on marriage, but when they do they take the surname used by their husband. In dining, dishes are shared: those who eat from the same plate will not betray each other. They are served on and eaten with injera, a fl atbread made of the grain teff. When one diner wishes to honor another, they arrange a morsel of food and hand feed it into the mouth of the recipient; this practice is called a Gursha. The traditional alcoholic beverage is a honey wine called Tej.

189 Historical Japanese Compiled by Andy Kitkowski This should be enough names to last you a lifetime of Historical or Fantasy gaming. Note: In most cases of the hiragana letter su where the u would be silent, the u has been omitted for ease of pronunciation (TRAD Hepburn style Yuusuke = Yuske ) HEIAN ERA JAPAN Approx AD Males: When using names to call people or address them, use the pattern SURNAME-no-FIRST NAME: Ex Rokujou-no-Kiyotsune; Kuga-no-Norinaga. Females: It s trickier. Very few female names are recorded in history (most of the below are the names of Empresses, and its assumed that other noble women had the same name). No person outside a woman s immediate family would know the names of the women inside of it. For a man to know the name of a woman from another family means that something is going on (secretly lovers, etc). When addressing other women, be the addressor a man or woman, they would usually use the woman s place in the family, like Eldest daughter; Eldest sister of the Saiga; Third sister of the Nijou; Youngest daughter; Youngest daugh- ter of the Kuga; etc. If the place in the family wasn t known, then usually poetic nicknames were created on the spot; Lady Purple (to a woman wearing a purple kimono); Lady Moonlight (to a woman met in the moonlight); Lady Canary (to a woman with a beautiful voice). Otherwise, female fi rst names are Top Secret, and remain so until after the Heian Era.

192 SAMURAI-ERA FIRST NAMES First names are pretty much just for show in historical Japan. In most cases, even between friends, people call each other by their last names (and still do in Modern settings). Younger people and close friends use fi rst names between each other, but for the most part in your games no matter which time period you ll be using last names almost all the time. Note on female names: You can vary the name by putting an O- in front of any of these names.

227 Roman Compiled by Jessica Hammer The praenomen is a name which distinguishes you from other members of your family. Only men have praenomens, and they are rarely actually used except within the family. The praenomina listed are the ONLY common praenomina within Rome. The nomen is a family name, which indicates which gens (collection of families) you belong to. People with the same nomen are either directly related to each other, or closely politically affi liated. The names listed here are a representative sampling, but do comprise a large proportion of the existing names; new citizens would take the name of an existing gens instead of inventing new ones. The cognomen is the most commonly used name, which was assigned by the community or by your family. You can think of it as analogous to a nickname. These names were generally descriptive and often insulting. For example, someone who drank too much might be called Bibulus. Alternately, the name can be sarcastic. Someone who doesn t drink at all could also be called Bibulus. They are often (but not always) passed down within a family. People can also accumulate multiple cognomena, ususally for outstanding characteristics such as great victory in battle. Most words can be used as cognomena, particularly if there is some kind of story behind it. The names here are simply examples. All names here are listed in their masculine forms. Names are feminized by replacing -us with -a when necessary, though many cognomens do not require feminization as they do not all end in - us. To create a male Roman name, choose one praenomen, one nomen, and one cognomen. For example: Gaius Julius Caesar. To create a female Roman name, choose and feminize one nomen and one optional cognomen. Girls were often numbered instead of being given actual cognomens. For example: Flavia Tertia Story Games Names Project

230 COGNOMEN There are several special types of cognomena that may also be appropriate. While there are not twenty of them, the other types are listed here: - Geographical: the city, region or tribe you are from. For example, Sabinus means Man of the Sabine tribe. - Honorifi c: often given after a great military victory to all who participated. For example, Germanicus means that you or an ancestor participated in the subdual of some Germanic tribe. Alternately, it could describe some great virtue, such as Magnus (generous) or Pius (dutiful). These names are always awarded by others and can never be chosen by the individual. Acquiring an honorifi c is an honor for the entire family. - Occupational: describing what you do. Some are listed above, such as Caprarius which means goatherd. - Non-Roman: if you are not Roman, you may keep a Romanized version of your name when you become a citizen. For example, Idir is a Berber name which could be used as a cognomen. - Adoptive: if you are adopted, you take the cognomen of your adoptive father, but you keep your COGNOMEN LIST 1 Aculeo (prickly) Salinator (salt-harvester) Vetus (old) Vatia (awkward) Ambustus (scalded or burnt) Aquila (eagle) Vespillo (funeral director) Arvina (fat) Asina (donkey) Bassus (plump) Varus (bow-legged) Capito (big-headed) Agricola (farmer) Cato (shrewd) Catulus (whelp) 1 Celerus (quick) 1 Bibulus (drunkard) 1 Celsus (tall) Cicero (chick pea) Blaesus (stammerer) Roman original cognomen as a second cognomen.

249 Zulu Compiled by Moyra Turkington The izithopho are personal praise names that are self-composed or granted by parents or peers. They are more dynamic than given names and may change over time. The izithakazel are not names themselves, but greetings used to address specifi c clans. They are sometimes (especially when interacting with foreigners or in urban centres) used in place of a surname, and celebrate the heritage of the entire clan, rather than any specifi c family line. Outside of the clan, people are usually addressed by the izithakazel, while within the clan, the izithopho is used (exception: married women generally address their husbands using the izithakazel).

The PCs are reincarnated Texas Rangers who just won the lottery and who, with stem cells, fi ght disease for profi t. From there, events proceed as expected. The PCs are enchanted postal workers in a junkyard who, with Red Ryder BB guns, fi ght the status quo for God and country, oh, back before you were born. The PCs are lovable evangelists who have switched bodies and who, with crossbows, fi ght werewolves for the last donut. Add robots and/or ninjas to taste. The PCs are masked fanatics in an imaginary third-world country who, with honor, fi ght pod people for the sled they had when they were little in a bygone era. The PCs are dancing philosophers in schoolgirl uniforms who, with the help of their fan club, fight whatever needs fighting for more wealth than you could imagine, only at night. The PCs are one-eyed action fi gures from beyond space and time who, with largecaliber handguns, fi ght owlbears for college credit to pad their resumes. The PCs are chain-smoking truck drivers (or are they?) who, with lightning bolts, fi ght Conservatives for the secret to The DaVinci Code until further notice. The PCs are debonair folk singers in a 747 who, with poison darts, fi ght fi re with fi re for Her Majesty before deciding to play something different. The PCs are unintentionally hilarious siblings in a lunatic s brain who, with their bare hands, fi ght a dark conspiracy for the glory of Rome to get into Harvard. The PCs are glow-in-the-dark offi ce workers in the Mirror Universe (where everything is the opposite of normal) who, with killer rabbits, fi ght their own shadows for the Championship Belt and learn how to love again. The PCs are alcoholic Supreme Court justices in a world in which they simply don t belong who, with only themselves to blame, fi ght their rivals for political favors to a soundtrack of classic hits from the Sixties. The PCs are kidnapped slaves on a space station who, with no other options, fi ght organized crime for all the wrong reasons like in that movie. The PCs are cowardly conspiracy theorists in a beat-up station wagon who, with a hilarious and talented NPC, fi ght goblins for drugs to a block-rockin beat. The PCs are white trash entrepreneurs in the ghetto who, with superpowers, fi ght a soulless mega-store only out to make a profi t until the end of the world. 1 The PCs are beautiful but deadly babes on an alternate Earth in which the South won the American Civil War who, with breakdancing, fi ght Republicans for the right to party. 1 The PCs are French wizards on a sacred quest who, with magic hats, fi ght grues for redemption until they storm out in disgust. 1 The PCs are wacky (owl)bears in group therapy who, with a ululating battle cry, fi ght the indigenous population for delicious pie because it would be a shame not to. The PCs are cowardly Texas Rangers acting as judge, jury, and executioner who, with large wrenches, fi ght their android duplicates for victory when duty calls. The PCs are misogynous comedians living in a trailer who, with a lack of common sense, fi ght skinheads for pieces of eight to the last man. Story Games Names Project - 255

281 Compiled by Mischa D. Krilov and Jason Morningstar Hurricanes are named primarily to avoid confusion and aid tracking, a practice several hundred years old. The World Meteorological Organization, in 1979, established six yearly lists of names for Atlantic hurricanes, used in a rotation. This list only changes if a storm gains notoriety as particularly deadly or costly, to prevent the inappropriate use of a name in the future. Prior to 1978, hurricanes only had women s names. These might be cool names for robots, programs, or servers, or maybe clueless aliens.
