People here tend to have two first names; it's strange to find people with only one or more than two. Sometimes people may be called by their second first name instead of their first (as is the case with my brother) for reasons I do not know XD maybe their family wants it that way? Idk.

People also have two last names! The first last name that you write is your mother's family name, and the second is your father's family name. However, you'll be referred to by your dad's name. Which is why females' last names tend to vanish when they marry, as it doesn't get passed on to the next generations.

When women get married, they keep their last names! They just add de [husband's last name] at the end of their formal full name, which essentially means "of [last name]. But I think it's cool that they keep their what you Americans call "maiden names" hehe.

In Aereon's case (lol why am I using her to explain this), her first name is Aereon and her second name is Melisa. Her mother's last name was Irina and her father's last name was Gray. However, she would write her name as just Aereon Gray to shorten it. When she got married, she became "of Thaohal" because that's Elio's last name. There! Isn't it simple? XD
