Elezen naming conventions

Both the Wildwood and Duskwight Elezen of Final Fantasy XIV are proud clans from a proud race. The forenames and surnames used by them have changed little since the time when they first crossed into Eorzea from the north. However, bad blood between the two tribes over the ages has led to surnames once commonly used by both clans being claimed by one side or the other. While the structures and spellings of names between the two clans are extremely similar, and they follow the same phonetic rules, a Duskwight and a Wildwood Elezen will never have the same last name.
The spelling and phonetic rules are extremely similar to those of French, and while there are no set-in-stone guidelines for male or female names, there are some distinguishing features.
== Example names ==
=== Female ===
Female names tend to end with the letter "e", usually "ne", "ette", or "elle"/"le" or on extended vowels like "ie", and be shorter than the male names.
*Tivionne
*Elviane
*Jainelette
*Saulette
*Etoinelle
*Pimelle
*Jannie
*Ceaulie
=== Male ===
Male names tend to be longer, and will often end in x, such as 'loix' (pronounced "lo-ah") or 'aux' (pronounced "oh"), or end in a silent t, such as 'mont' (pronounced "moan") or 'geant' (pronounced "john").
*Raitmeaux
*Mourechaux
*Nogeloix
*Padilloux
*Vairemont
*Carrilaut
*Aurifort
*Bertennant
==Connection to Hyur==
Some of the Elezen names appear similar to those of the Hyur. There are Eorzean historians who believe that these similarities in names may be proof that the two races are of similar origin—"open-minded" Hyuran historians claiming the Elezen are a bastard race spun off from the Hyurs. Elezen historians, on the other hand, simply deny any blood relation whatsoever.
*Louis vs Louisoix
*Eugene vs Eugenaire
*Arthur vs Arthurioux
*Gwen vs Gwenolie
*Hilda vs Hildie
