Line 191:
Female commoners are often promoted to pick names that reflect their professions or honour their immediately family members, such as sisters, mothers or godmothers. Soldiers often pick the names of famous soldiers such as Orsanna, Margea, Alessara, Kathrinna or Celia. More scholarly minded individuals like civil service, artists or clergy pick more academic or holy names such as Stefanna, Laisa, Lace, Ristina or Sicarlinna.
Names are not permitted to be changed without an appropriate form to the Government.
Line 198 ⟶ 197:
Female members of the nobility are often pressured into choosing the name of the reigning consort '''or''' the most recent Empress regnant as one of their names of honour.
Females, much like men, also gain names throughout their lives. Most members of the nobility are born with only three names. An additional name or two, the baptismal names, are done after baptism. It is also common that in the age before majority, names of honour will begin to be bestowed. The procedure for naming is simple, and the reason the honourific names do not come earlier is because the names bestowed are intended to be reflective of what the individual is like personality wise. For example, a daughter of a noble going into politics may be bestowed a name of honour of a famous politician or Queen whereas a soldier may be given a famous field marshal's name.
It is commonly accepted that after the age of majority, no additional names may be given or removed except congomens, which are granted by the Emperor.
