voiceless anal fricative posted:Her dad's name was Eomund and her brother's name was Eomer. Honestly the matchey matchey names is the bigger crime than calling your kid that name on its own. It's like a guy called Brian calling his kids Brianna and Bryce or some poo poo. Viz: Elden Ring. Still no idea who the gently caress anyone is in that game.

OwlFancier posted:The rohirrim are modeled off of the old english royals and we had a period of a few hundred years with everyone fighting over the same half dozen syllables arranged in different orders for their names. To reinforce this point:  edit: Here is the same tree further down, after King Alfred. Spoiler, it did not get better:

You think Old English naming conventions are annoying to keep track off? Try reading some Punic history. Hanno, Hamilcar, Hannibal, Hasdrubal. Those 4 names cover about 90% of every prominent figure from Carthage.

dialhforhero posted:FYI being the Rohirram, their culture and language revolve around horses and Eo is a “modern” prefix for all things horse related. They name their children after their parents in a similar way to Icelandic surname tradition except the names also pay an homage or honor to horses. I used to think the same thing but it occurred to me that I was (and you may be) probably thinking of eohippus, but I remembered that it’s hippus that’s the root meaning “horse” (e.g., hippopotamus, “river horse”; eo comes from the Greek, eos, meaning “dawn” Noir89 posted:To reinforce this point: I was going down a rabbit hole of early rulers of England and saw all the goddamn Eds in the timeline, so I looked it up. Ead/Ed just means “wealth”. Christ, ugh.
