Character Names

**deRougemont** · April 26, 2007, 11:08 AM

Hi Vespers!

Great to see you have finally gotten your own forum.

I was wondering if you have created new character names for Milan/Genoa yet? And if you were going to post any character names lists you have created so that we may view them?

Also, I was wondering what you thought of the CNP's Venetian names list (especially the locative bynames):

If you made a better list for Venice or just wanted to improve the one CNP has created, I would like to collaborate with you so that we could create a "definitive" names list for TWC. Your knowledge of Italian would be a great help.

The list looks very good. Facio had be thinking for a second, but I think it's short for Bonifacio

Unfortunately, Venice and Genoa still have the vanilla names, but I will I will pass the Genoa list on to you when it is completed.

I will look at the Venetian list more closely when I get home.

A good, that's a relief. My main concerns are with the locative bynames because they were almost completely made up by myself. I used old maps in order to add the most important towns/cities/islands controlled by Venice during that era. The other main concern is whether "da" is correct. I know that in the rest of Italy "di" was perhaps the more common, but Venice was known for having a strong dialect and hence spelled words quite differently. I think in vanilla M2:TW, their Venetian list used "de". However, when I began researching names, I was running into "da" more often.

This would be a big help. I used the Russian names as a place holder, until I can get a set of Serbian names.

how do you add those names?

Hello again, SV. Here is a Milanese names list we've developed at the CNP. What do you think of them?

I know that I was not the "target" of this list, but let me say my opinion, because I am italian:
this list is very good for me, but for a strict milanese faction

.

I don't know if it suits with SV mod because Milan faction has been substitute by a Genoese-only faction (which have different families), but for a milanese-only faction it is very complete.

IMHO it depends on where you want to use this list:

- For a Milan-Only faction it's perfect!

- For a Milan controlling Genoese territory, like is in Medieval 2 without any mod, this list is incomplete, because it lacks ALL names of genoese families, even the most important ones (like Grimaldi or Doria)

- For a Genoa only faction, I think it does not suit for the issue above.

You made a great work, however, I must admit it!!!

They look pretty good, but you need to add the Marino family. Tommaso Marino was a very power figure in Milano around 1500. The Sicilian and Milanese Marino families are part of the Genoese De Marini family.

@Lorre

The Genoese names are nearly finished.

Will your Genoese names be strictly from families in that city, or from NW Italiy in general?
