I'm building an aristocracy for it, and making various family members in line for various titles... blah blah blah Is this the right way to be doing names? This is for the House of Matroska Posted Image Posted Image Coming up with first names is interesting, but not impossible. Edited by Ulgania, Jan 17 2009, 08:57 PM.

Also in these sort of things I personally prefer lines of descent coming off the father's name, or the double-line. But, to each his own.

Women are father's name + "ova", and are frequently refered by this tag. I.E. Peter Illich Tschawsky's (sp?) father's name was Illiai (Try phonetics, I can't spell Russian in English). So, if my father was "Peter" I'd be "Petrivich" and my sister would be "Petrinova". Doubt that helps you with your chart tho.
