About mordesh names
Slavic given names pair with rasping lowercase surnames in results like "Bogdan grutzys", "Zrina bajech" and "Nevena kazits", folk warmth curdled at the edges. The combination fits cultured undead fighting their own decay in a WildStar inspired setting, aristocrats holding ruin at bay with elixirs. Let the surname do the unsettling work and keep the given name warm.
How mordesh names are built
Mordesh names build in the style of WildStar's afflicted alchemists, pairing a personal name with a Slavic-flavoured family name built from five fragments with a repeated vowel. Female personal names come from a 274-entry bank, male names from a 438-entry bank, giving Eastern-European-styled forms like Boban brastak and Nevena kazits.
Boban brastak
Boban + brastak
male whole-word personal name plus fragment-built family name
Zrina bajech
Zrina + bajech
female personal name plus family name
Nevena kazits
Nevena + kazits
female personal name plus family name
Naming notes
The personal banks are large, so given names vary widely, while the family name's repeated vowel and small 13-entry ending keep a consistent shape. The -ch, -ts and -ek family endings carry the flavour. Good for chemists, exiles, or original characters in that Eastern-European-styled register for fan work.
Questions about mordesh names
- Are these official Mordesh names?
- No. They are fan-made names in that style, assembled from personal-name and family banks rather than any official source.
- Why do the names sound Eastern European?
- The personal-name banks and -ch, -ts and -ek family endings carry that phonetic flavour; it is a sound choice, not a linguistic claim.
- Why is the family name lowercase?
- That follows the bank's stored style, so the family element renders lowercase by design.
