About male gungan names
How male gungan names are built
Names assemble from fragment pools into two words, with several shapes including a hyphenated first word that joins two opener pieces ("Lu-ca wil", "Pert-krash troers"). Female and male openers draw from parallel sets, and the second word stays short.
Yeh ten
Yeh (opener build) + ten (second-word build)
Lu-ca wil
Lu-ca (hyphenated opener) + wil (second-word build)
Dikan liars
Dikan (opener build) + liars (second-word build)
Naming notes
Bouncy syllables and the playful hyphenated builds give a comic, amphibious sound fitting swamp-dwelling characters in a Star Wars-style setting. The hyphenated forms read as the most distinctive; plain two-word forms as everyday names. For original characters, tabletop, and fan fiction.
