Line 115:
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 son of a noble going into politics may be bestowed a name of honour of a famous politician or royalty whereas a soldier may be given a famous field marshal's name.
 
It is commonly accepted that after the [[Stefanic ages and the calendar#Ages|age of majority]], no additional names may be given or removed except congomens, which are granted by the Emperor.
