I'm kinda getting the urge to post about the books I'm reading. It's a mix of fiction and non-fiction. In particular I want to review cookbooks and crafting books that I'm getting at the library so that I can have a reference for them.

That all feels like it should be a different account, so what should I name it?

The creator of my favorite townie name mod ever said they took the first names from the book "The Complete Book of Baby Names" by Lesley Bolton - So I found that on Archive.org (you have to borrow the eBook from a library but it's free), and boy it sure is complete lol

The first 140 pages or so are these little themed lists, and then the remaining 536 pages are names in alphabetical order with meanings and alternate spellings listed for each one

Some naming ideas for Star Trek or other space/alien kind of worlds that are not name+last name or the other way round (some are based on already existing human naming traditions):

You have a name and several last names. They may be your parents' or they may be related to important people in your life or in the life of your parents, even if there is one you use more often for whatever the reason (it's shorter, it's more convenient, you don't want to explain,...). It is accepted to change your last name but never your name or the other way round.

You have several names and no last name. Some names you were given, some you chose for yourself. They may tell the story of your life, they may honor important people in your family or in your life. You tend to use one but other people who met you under a different name use another. Or there is The Official Name and then the family name or the leisure name. Maybe even A Secret Name that is not documented anywhere and only a few people know.

You have a name and patronymics and/or matronymics but no last name. You are systematically called by the patronymic/matronymic, only a few use your first name. Or the other way round, knowing the patronymic/matronymic is a proof of confidence.

There is an absolute refusal of hierarchy/polite terms in your culture and language, so you always carry dressing and decoration with your family name and your personal name so that even unknown people can call you by one of your names because using any other word to refer to anyone would be impolite. The international relationships have created new costumes with the name in different languages (the most frequent ones with whom you deal) so as to make it easier for everyone. Outsiders still fail miserably often.

Children have no name until they choose one and they must stick to it because it cannot be changed. This gives some funny and interesting names but it also gives unnamed teenagers because they don't want to get it wrong. They are addressed by some physical characteristic until they do and as such, many just stay with the nickname instead. That is it, that is the only name you'll have. No last name or family name of any kind. Just a nickname.

There is a very rigid naming system. There are not short versions of names, of affectionate ways of using the name. The last name is chosen by the government according to a system that only makes sense to the natives of that culture. It is not related to family, or to a job, or to a place of origin. The first name is chosen by the birthing parent, exclusively, in secret, after they check the archives to make sure it will be a unique name, it's some kind of deep quest that takes place from the moment the pregnancy is confirmed. There is a ceremony before the birth to announce. Nobody shares their first name with anyone else. It cannot be a word that already exists in that language.

All first names must be abstract names related to emotions, feelings, experiences, etc. Or, all first names must be tangible everyday things like furniture, food, tools... The family name is related to nature or, since space exploration began, the cosmos.

Every person who is born and lives in the same village, town or city until their teenage years is given the last name of the place and it is understood that is their family. If the parents (or family-blood) or the child move to another place, the child will move nameless and will remain nameless until they decide which of the two places is their family-place (most people choose the last place of living). By the time they come of age, they all should have a last name so that the family-place can be identified. Their personal name is the name of the family-blood, so they all share the same name, regardless of their gender or age. Yes, it is confusing for outsiders, but outsiders don't know they are almost a hive mind with little to none understanding of "individual", even when they are apart. For them it's just like a long arm stretching far away. Yes, sometimes it hurts.
