You know what? I'm gonna walk some of what I've said previously back. The very same Lala I've used to make my argument for family names is the one that doesn't follow the scheme that π‘Žπ‘™π‘™ π‘œπ‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘™π‘Žπ‘™π‘Žπ‘  𝑖𝑛 π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘”π‘Žπ‘šπ‘’ π‘“π‘œπ‘™π‘™π‘œπ‘€. (I'm sorry.. we're doing it again) #ffxiv #lalafell #headcanon

Since Rere's part of the upper class, most people will refer to him only as "Rurunima" in polite company, and to call him by anything else would be a grave insult. Only close friends and other races who don't get the culture are allowed to call him Rerenima. Even fewer may use Rere, his birth name.

So because we know that Plainsfolk lalafells always refer to each other by their full name in every context, I've headcanoned that certain Dunesfolk stick to the more traditional formality of only using one's courtesy name to refer to each other.

Sorry, tangent. Anyway. In real life culture, it was rude to refer to anyone with a courtesy name by their birth name unless you were a very close friend or family member. So...

For Lalas, age 20 seems to be universal for both genders. Back to the Coco brothers again, Cocobuki Lolobuki is the only brother with a courtesy name, which would suggest he's the only member of the family over age 20. The Thaumaturge's guild is being run by literal children. Think about that.

You know I promised a random tangent about courtesy names, so I'm paying off my debt. So in some Asian cultures, back in the day they used to give men courtesy names at age 20 and women upon marriage. (con't) #ffxiv #headcanon #lalafell

Rere's deeply religious family sent their son to study at the Ossuary, so he was classically trained in the traditional duties of the Order. Imagine his surprise when the very people they gave considerable time and wealth to refused to carry out his father's vengeance order. #ffxiv #lalafell

Attempting my first #wolquestion / #wolqotd since I’m curious: Players, might you please show and / or tell me about your black mages / thaumaturges?

Basically what I'm getting at is that family names are most likely gender-based and baked directly into their first names, and sometimes repeated in their courtesy name. Which is kinda cool, imo. Which means their actual name is whatever comes before or after. AKA Buki, Bygo, Bezi, Rere, etc(4)

It gets interesting, because if this is the case, then I'd also headcanon that lalafell lineage is entirely dependent on their gender. Some more concrete evidence would be Nanamo Ul Namo. Her mother was Nanasha Ul Nasha. Ul only indicates royalty-- perhaps the family name on the fem side is Na. (3)

Stick with me here. The best potential example we have is the Coco brothers. Cocobuki, Coccobygo, Cocobani, Cocobezi, and Cocobusi. We don't know who their father is, but let's assume for a moment that this naming scheme was actually intentional, and that their "family name" is Coco. (2)

All the #loreposting from @bluberryffxiv.bsky.social has inspired me to dump my thoughts on lalafell lineage, because I think about this stuff too much. Keep in mind, this is all headcanon. I wondered, how do they keep track of family lines if they have no surnames? Well.. I posit that they do. (1)
