English Names In Your Nation (NON-ANGLOPHONE NATIONS ONLY)

by **-Ebola-** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 9:28 pm

English names can't be written in RNA, so they are not used.

by **Soled** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 1:58 am

As very few Soledans are of English descent, and as it has little influence in Soledan history, society and culture, English names are extremely rare. Soledan names like Arkstah, Evgonov, Katya and Petroslav are the norm.

English names are incredibly rare as all names in Aikoland must be able to be transcribed into either the Korean writing system, the Japanese writing system, or the Chinese writing system.

Why, of course! Heck, you could have "6&37!&jeh]€^!" for a name, if ya wanted to. We're crows, so we don't care.

Relatively common. Names of French, Spanish, Italian, or German origin are more popular, however.

Not at all. Especially in the eastern-most country of Batavia, having an English name is cause for suspicion.

English names are most common in immigrant communities hailing from English-influenced lands. In addition they are occasionally adopted as nicknames by our own people.

by **Ngelvomlam** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 4:56 pm

English and other foreign names are extremely rare for for a few reasons.
1. Many are difficult to pronounce in Ngelvomlamic.
2. We are a proud people who insist on preserving our national identity.
3. We primarily use a logographic writing system which cannot represent English words. We do also have a phonetic alphabet, but it's for pronouncing words in languages closely related to Ngelvomlamic and doesn't work well with ceartain languages (English being one of them), and the glyphs are redundant making them hard to read and memorize.

All names are allowed, but Ashanese names are more popular (IE: Sedar, Hetana, Utaho, ect...)

by **Communist Volkstrad** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 5:50 pm

Volkstradi names are all actually Bulgarian or Czech. Most names of people are Bulgarian, while names of policies, news, reports etc. are all Czech. English names are allowed but astronomically uncommon.

There was no law regarding the use of foreign names (Vetalian names are universally Russian) but following the Vivicide of British Londinium it became expressly permitted for Vetalians as well as the massive Vetalian-Londinian and Londinian populations to use English names. That being said, after some time by and large the population has assimilated to using Russian names much like adopting the Russian language in lieu of Volscian or English.

Since we occupy the Caribbean, we qualify!

English names make up around 50 to 60% of the population's names.

by **The Great Universe (Ancient)** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 7:58 pm

Just under half of the names in the Great Universe are of English origin. The rest of the names are French.

by **El Canada** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 10:17 pm

After Spain conquered us, all the names in Canada have been Spanish ever since.
