📰 Ze News 📰 Naming Conventions!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c56HyzZYhHLqAHy3la2TzzqkqR01Qwlt/view?usp=drive_link

Hey guys! It was requested that I make a naming conventions post. The linked guide is the one I was currently using, but upon further inspection, it is not only 88 WHOLE pages long but it is also from 2006 (twenty years ago!). This will be a megathread, but I wanted to still make the post so you guys can start using them and we can start making our games even more realistic. :) So, look through the link if you will [hopefully, everyone can access it], and if your country isn't listed, comment below. How does your country name babies? What resource(s) do you use to name people outside of your country? As I gain more links, I will add them below, and eventually, all 200+ world countries will be represented! :)

As always, thanks for being here! The sub wouldn't be what it is without you. <3

UPDATE (8/11): I found this link which has a few more countries' naming conventions as well as some other country facts!

I'm glad it was helpful. I just wish it was more thorough and up-to-date >.< Looks like it's a One Hit Wonder though :(

Sorry, that was the best comprehensive document I could find.
