You lack a family name? Or is it a given name you lack?

[ In his world, a certain people go solely by tribe and then their sire's name. No given name whatsoever. ]

a family name

You are a queen, are you not? Choose one for yourself and pass it to your descendants.

i thought people had to give you your name

[emet_sulk]

No. Whatever made you think that?

A name can be given, taken, or made. I would think hard if you intend to create your own, as what you choose will be what others expect to see from you.

well i didnt have one until my twin gave me one
thats good to know though
ill think about it if i want to have another name

A parent may gift a child with a birth name, but I see no reason why one must stick to it if they grow unhappy with the name as time passes.

Regardless, if you are serious about this then do give it thought. Names are what you make of them.
