Naming System

In Orstland, nobody shares a name. When a child is born, the parents send a letter to the king with suggestions for the child's name. The king check the records to see if anyone recent has had it. The names of legends, kings, characters in books and similar are never allowed. If no recommended name is valid, the king himself gives one.

The importance of Orstland's system is it helps detect spies like in the incident of Entna. It also helps the king maintain control and have a record of everyone alive. The theory is that a person must carve out their own personality instead of being born with one. This is why names don't have any meaning.

Angland using the two name family system. A persons second name is the same as his fathers second name. The first name is chosen by the parent.

The southern republic rejected the Orstland system when they reject their king. Parents give the child a temporary first name. At the age of eight the child picks his own. The second name is the name of the tribe he is from.

Note to writers

Names must not have any meaning or be a name from your world. Avoid making similar sounding names or those that seem to originate from a single country like characters shiyobi, yukana, akato would seem to be Japanese.
