What’s in a Name?
So here I am completely misinterpreting everyone’s names all for the sake of headcanons. This is just for fun so please don’t take this seriously.
House Leaders
Edlegard von Hresvelg - Noble Shield of the Giant Eagle
Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd - Wolf Protector from the Goddess of Life
Claude von Riegan - Stumbling Little King
I love Claude’s name, I think it suits the story
Black Eagles
Bernadetta von Varley - Brave Bear
Caspar von Bergliez - Treasurer
Dorothea Arnold - Gift of God
Ferdinand von Aegir - journey, brave, sea
Hubert von Bestla - Spirit of Bestla (mother of Odin. Unless that’s actually Vestra)
Linhardt von Hevring - Lion Heart
Petra Macneary - Modest Rock
I don’t know what to do with the Black Eagles, send help!
They’re all mostly Germanic origins
I want to make Ferdinand’s name to mean ‘brave journey on rough seas’ but that would be a stretch
Is Petra a modest rock or is it that she comes from a humble island?
Blue Lions
Annette Fantine Dominique - Graceful Child of the Lord
Ashe Duran - Strength to Endure
Dedeu Molinaro - Guardian of the Mill
Felix Hugo Fraldarius - Happy Thoughts
Ingrid Brandol Galatea - Beautiful Man Made Woman
Mercedes von Martlitz - Swift and Elegant Mercy
Sylvain Jose Gautier - A Forest of Trees Will Be Added by God to this Leader of Armies
That’s it. Happy Thoughts Fraldarius is Felix’s new name.
Jose has a long name - this also means that Sylvain’s followers will multiply... so if I’m right and this actually happens, it would make sense why they still have an army
Mill meaning hardworking? Stable?
Ingrid was bred to be perfect - the imagined ideal woman that men make up and fall in love with
Golden Deer
Hilda Valentin Goneril - Battle Ready
Ignatz Victor - Fire of Victory
Leonie Pinelli - Lion, Pine? - Strength to Endure
Lorenz Hermann Gloucester - Laurel Warrior
Lysithea von Cordelia - Heart of the Water Nymph
Marianne von Edmund - Bitter Grace
Raphael Kirsten - God Has Healed the Followers
Hilda’s is actually ‘battle healthy’ but ready makes more sense
If you take the symbolism of a lion and the symbolism of pine trees, you can get ‘strength’ and ‘longevity’ so...
TL;DR
I tried to make them all sound like fancy titles but...
Happy Thoughts Fraldarius is Felix’s new name.
Petra is comes from a modest rock
Put in a certain way, Ashe and Leoni have the same name
I need help naming the Black Eagles
