My S'kra Moon Mage's last name is terrible, so I wanted to change it to something more S'kra like. I looked through the S'kra Mur Language page on Elanthipedia, but I couldn't really come up with anything decent that was grammatically correct and 15 characters or less.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd like to hear them. Any name related to moon mages, moons, stars, night time, magic would be good.

Anakh'hhla...

That's the translation I did for my cleric Sorenne Naxela (I didn't want to have an actual S'Kra name due to her background: she has a crazy Common-loving scholar mom who hated S'Kra culture..)

You can use it and be my distant, DISTANT relative...lol

Alternatively, you can give me what "common" sounding last names you would like and we can try to s'kra it for you.

As an aside, your last name doesn't HAVE to be an actual S'Kra word you know...

Sometimes names like Moonmage Lala Moonbeams or Barry Starsfall just sound weird :/

Also with the words like "moon" (Pel'arsharra), night (I'm guessing "arsharra"), star (shar'nath)...you're pretty much stuck with just one word as they're pretty lengthy on their own.

Just make up your own last name. :)

I posted this before in.. I think the languages forum, but it may be useful to you. http://www.gridaksma.com/tsarenzi/words.html The results for the S'Kra drop-down are actually some of my favorite. Just go through and select that until it comes up with an option you like. All of them will have S'Kra flavor without being real S'Kra words.

I do like some of the names from that page. I'm starting to think the name doesn't have to be a real S'kra phrase.

Thanks

Most of the canon S'Kra names aren't actual words, anyway. (If you think about it, most real names aren't words, either.)

Really? I have trouble thinking of common names that aren't words. A lot of them are corrupted, though.

Uh, but that's beside the point. You'll make a nice-sounding fantasy name if you just take some letter-parings from S'kra that amuse you and put them in a visually pleasing and s'kra-evocative whole.
