Native Names and the like

**HIC SVNT LEONES** · May 26, 2009, 08:05 PM

I'm going to take the liberty of trying to help you with names for each of the factions in the closest I can get with my resources to the style they were done in in the era of this mod.

I compiled a list of actual Berber names, however they may be a bit modern - they add a bit more flavor than some of the latinized versions of things in the mod. I've also included what the names for these factions could be in their native language, some of this though is beyond me and I may need help. Like Berber. It's waaay different. lol.

The Berbers:

The Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Visigoths:

The Romans: This one, for the moment is more of a suggestion. All I did with this is replace your names' 'u', with 'v', to give the Roman names a better Roman feel for the time period.

Heck of a project Ashley J. Williams

Where did you get your sources from?

Starter characters..Do you mean generals and not family members? The faction leaders we have in there are the correct age for the most part

I basically used these sites for the reconstruction:
http://www.oe.eclipse.co.uk/nom/letters.htm
http://www.geocities.com/yeshua666/gothnames.html

And I de-latinized for the most part most of the names in your namelists.

The ages you don't have to follow with, but the names are for the most part (except for the females, they rarely list their names in histories.) I basically made their names Germanic. Vandal is not know exactly in what German category it should be in, however, most people are guessing it would be similar to the Gothic Languages, so thats what I went for.

The Berber, I found it somewhere online but the site doesn't even show up anymore.

By the way, when adding the names I recommend to make it bit easier for when you're make names in brackets, to use special characters as their sound equivalents in our alphabet, for example:

{Thiudahathus}Þiudahaþus

I've self modded and stuff before and my computer does not have these as actual keys so I had to keep copying and pasting names. I think it's faster to write them.

Ashley J. Williams I need to know the what names the new ones are replacing can you post it for me?

I need to know the original names that you have that are in the brackets that you you want changed(changed for in game display) so I can place your new names in beside them as such...Otherwise I'll be guessing

The names list to change looks like this example:
{Antistia} Aelia Eudocia
{Antonia} Antonia
{Antonianus} Antonianus
{Antoniniana} Antoniniana
{Antoninus} Antoninus
{Antonius} Antonius
{Anullinus} Anullinus
{Aoric} Aoric
{ap_Edern} ap Edern
{ap_Padarn_Beirudd} ap Padarn Beirudd
{Apion} Apion
{Apollonius} Apollonius
{Appius} Appius
{Appuleius} Appuleius
{Aqhat} Aqhat
ETC................it goes on and on and not in alphabetical order always
