    Excellent, will add to opening post.

    Are you sure it's okay for 1250?

    And did the Lithuanians not have surnames or bynames? Would good if they had, even if it was 'of Vilnus'.

    Added.

    Did the Lithuanians not use surnames? If it's going to be that few, I might just leave surnames out.

    And as you are there, what was the faction leader and heir called in Lithuanian? And was the grammar King Peter or Peter King?

    Default Re: LITHUANIAN Character Names for Kingdoms

    Maybe find a map of medieval Lithuania, and use all the towns you find on it for bynames.

    Lithuanians didn't use a surnames, only after medieval age I think.

    And as you are there, what was the faction leader and heir called in Lithuanian?
    Lithuanian faction leader in all Medieval age was a Grand Duke (Didysis Kunigaikstis in lithuanian). The word "leader" in Lithuanian is: Valdovas.
    The word "heir" in Lithuanian is: paveldetojas.

    And was the grammar King Peter or Peter King?
    King Peter.

    Find maps to get physical bynames from instead of choosing no surnames.

    If they didn't use surnames, they didn't use surnames, we just have to live with it. We don't want to make up new naming rules for a people.

    I'm not referring to surnames, but bynames. These can easily be made by using old maps.

    Did they even use bynames?

    No idea. Though it looks like most of the bynames used in the CNP are not historical; at least they cannot be proven to be (except for the French, Germans, and English).
