As 2.0 approaches, we'll be officially releasing detailed information on naming conventions used by the five races. To tide you over until then, however, I can give you a quick rundown of the current rules Lalafells (Plainsfolk/Dunesfolk) adhere to. (Remember, there are always exceptions to the rules!)
Plainsfolk Male
Phoneme pattern is AB - CB
The A and C phonemes do not have to rhyme.
- Zorido Manarido
Fun Fact: Plainsfolk males will usually always use their full names, rarely ever breaking them down into first or last only.
Plainsfolk Female
Phoneme pattern is ABB - AB.
- Mimomo Mimo
Dunesfolk Male
Phoneme pattern is AAB - CCB
The A and C phonemes are 1 syllable, the B phoneme 2.
The A and C phonemes may rhyme, but do not have to.
- Jajariku Nanariku (rhyming)
- Nunulupa Tatalupa (non-rhyming)
Fun Fact: Unlike their Plainsfolk cousins, the Dunesfolk males often only use their first names.
Dunesfolk Female
Phoneme pattern is AAB - AB.
The A and B phonemes are 1 syllable.
- Jajano Jano
Fun Fact: While both Plainsfolk and Dunesfolk females will usually only go by their first names, when in the service of a Grand Company, they will often use their full names (for example: Flame Private Nonoku Noku).
Royalty
Members of the Ul'dah and Sil'dih royal families also bear the names of their respective sultanates.
- Nanamo Ul Namo
- Lalawefu Sil Tatawefu
I hope that helps!

How cool! I'd be Gerik Merik or Gegerik Memerik
Aysun would be Aysunsun Aysun or Ayaysun Aysun
