i wonder if my fellow lalafell friends have the same kind of "impostor syndrome" i have with my in game name
lalafell "lore friendly" names are very distinct, and i feel like i'm not really "there" if i don't have one
yet they sound a bit silly (because they kinda are), and i already have so much things with my current name that feels awkward to change, plus if i ever fantasia, it will be simply ridiculous

@agatha I actually changed my last name to be somewhat lore-accurate

@agatha I used to be Jalyn Ririvachi (last name from the auto-generator) but after careful deliberation I changed it to "Zezelyn" which kind of mashes up male and female conventions (iirc)

@noiob lala names are not really "forename surname", they are a single name separated in two, so it's hard to say if one half is lore friendly because the rule they follow, repetition, alliteration and rhymes, just doesn't work in a single part yknow?

@agatha honestly I don't really care that much it was just annoying me that it didn't fit

@noiob most players don't care, and i don't have a lore friendly name either, so i am not judging don't worry!

@agatha it was purely a decision for myself :) I think it's a really interesting discussion though
