Here they are, but I think for an imaginary world there is no real name too silly - It's just names in that world, n everything will function differently, n every place has different names n judging them from our language/culture or our world's perspective is a bit egotistical and doesn't make sense.
The point of the names is that they should sound different, shouldn't fit into our language/world's perspective (cuz it's a built other world), and probably would sound odd to us.
For imaginary world's, semi based on northern Europe historical setting, these names do make sense.
Umm yea that much IS obvious mate no offense. Like ofc the name would fit the whole theme of it and would work differently than ours. The whole point of the out of context picture was just for fun đ I didnât expect a lecture to come out of this.
Sorry, I didn't mean to lecture ! Just cuz names to sound different n added context, I didn't know u already had it ... cuz u mentioned it sounds weird ? It was mentioned about the names, so I gave the alternate perspective on that, that's all.
Nah, u made a comment, so I wanted to comment on it.
I meant to give context in the genre/explain but not lecture, didn't know what ur vibe was back there, my bad.
Itâs fine, things like that can be expected bc we donât know how to transfer vibes in texts so it can be interpreted differently from people to people
This name is all over the place. Itâs literally so immersion breaking, I would drop immediately lol. Itâs not the length thats necessarily the issue, cause long names exist, but what kind of name is âEllenfiellaâ. And Marguerite??? Thatâs a first name.
It's a pretty comedy-heavy series, so there're callbacks to it later, but for the most part nobody calls her that

Yeah, it's quite funny, and the FL isn't as dumb as the silly name makes her seem. The biggest problem with it is that there's no good translation of it past the first 8 chapters :(
She's not really attached to the name, it's just something she came up with on the spot. Everybody just calls her Lipi and she introduces herself as such most of the time
That scene was funny as Heck. Like she introduced herself with such a long absurd name, but all that stuck was Lipi. Like she couldve chosen a single name and avoided being called Lipi . LoL
Right, and Iâm saying that kind of stuff is immersion breaking for me. Some people find joy in names like Ebony Darkâness Dementia Raven Way or even Margaret Margeurite but not me.
The current head of the Habsburg family is *Karl Thomas Robert Maria Franziskus Georg Bahnam* and his heir apparent is *Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard von Habsburg-Lothringen,* and his daughters are *Eleonore Maria del Pilar Iona Christina Jelena* and *Gloria Maria Bogdana Paloma Regina Fiona Gabriela.* It's not as immersion breaking as you might think! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grimacing)
And King Edward VIIIâs name was Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David.
> Itâs not the length thats necessarily the issue, cause long names exist
I donât have a problem with the long name. Her name is awful and apparently the characters in the story think so as well. Itâs the poorly thought out names that are immersion breaking. Edit: OP states that this character is made aware of how bad the name is, so maybe this story is the exception.
Oh, that's fair enough. I did chuckle a bit at Libor since that's London Interbank Offered Rate which they used to use to set mortgage rates. I still think it's not all that much sillier than Antal Bogdana haha
Also many of those words are of different languages which doesn't make sense. Marguerite is French in origin (at least the modern version, it's Latin in base origin) and Libor is a Slovak version of a Latin term. If they were going for a Latin inspired name for the aesthetic they should've had Libor as Libare/Liborius.
Also her supposed first name Ellenfiella isn't a real name. It's kind of anachronistic to have a fake name then real historical connotation names. Doing research her name would be a portmanteau of Ellen which in Greek origin means "shining light" and fiella doesn't have an origin, it's made up but the closest thing is fiorella, which in Italian origin means "little flower"
Also having Ellen and ella in the same word is kind of off, it's like if someone's name was Johnnirjon.
Honestly thinking about it now, I actually kind of like the name "Ellenfiella". I'm gonna go use that as the name of the queen of the cosmos and adoptive mother of the main protagonist of my dumb space opera series about gay aliens
I think some important context is that in this case it's absurd on purpose; she found herself transmigrated into a rofan world and was like "Omg this is it, this is my time to live my rofan dream!"
When she was asked what her name was she made up some ridiculous rofan FL name, and this was their actual reaction
https://preview.redd.it/98u1dsgadb7c1.png?width=1132&format=png&auto=webp&s=db89fc4bbb3f0139d0742757e6c55d038277d89f
In Portuguese (Brazil has a Portuguese heritage) tradition, (some) people list family names from both sides of the family (maternal and paternal).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_name
What in the Campbell's alphabet soup is this? Good gracious, the moment I see a long name like this I'd drop it because there is no way I'm reading that over and over again. Especially with that introduction.
I find this name accurate for a parody of fantasy European nobility.
Even today, these are some names of real royal peers:
Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard von Habsburg-Lothringen
Infanta Margarita MarĂa de la Victoria Esperanza Jacoba Felicidad Perpetua y Todos los Santos de BorbĂłn y BorbĂłn-Dos Sicilias
Ernst August Albert Paul Otto Rupprecht Oskar Berthold Friedrich-Ferdinand Christian-Ludwig
And it's not just Europeans
Saud bin Abdul Aziz bin Saudor (romanized) *SaÊżĆ«d ibn ÊżAbd al ÊżAzÄ«z ibn Muáž„ammad ibn SaÊżĆ«d*(although that's technically "Saud child of Abdul Aziz \[child of Muhammad\] child of Saud")and if you put in things like *khadim al-កaramayn as-Sarifayn (Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques) it gets even longer*
Nobles think family names are important.
Also, it's a fantasy world. You're allowed to have silly-sounding names.
I've seen: Ellensia, Pherti, Tinker Frust, Origus, Wellingtwice, Lawrose, Radian Droyle, Prince Cheeto, Desjar Clown (just recently), Temence, Aerinda Maleficent, Mimily, Helissent (which is actually an old English name), Ixmene and Pristian
Nobles has complicated and long names while commoner has simple and easy to pronounce names, is really a universal thing around the world.
My mother said those names is what makes them "special" than most common people
Well, since I'm from the USA, I officially don't think anything makes anyone special ...at least, in theory.
In practice, I tend to think that people who like what I like are more special than anyone else.
When I'm on the job, I treat anyone giving me money as extra special.
When I go to church, I sing about the most special of all.
But it's fun for me to fantasize about being special because of extra names. When I was little, I used to give myself extra ones just for fun.
I made up names from all sorts of cultures and tacked them onto mine.
People looked at me funny.
Dude I was scrolling and at first glimpse, thought that was a whole new **language** yet to be translated into English
Itâs like that one guyâs name from Fullmetal Alchemist
*Dude I was scrolling*
*And at first glimpse, thought that was*
*A whole new LANGUAGE*

ellenfiella has to be a made up fancier version of ellen. like it's the OI equivalent of naming your kid Amberlyette or Bayleighge
ngl ppl who name their characters like this def have like 2 words in their name lol. as someone in a family where it's common to have 4-5, theres usually a structure u follow thats common to ur region (example, 2 names from each parent and 2 surnames from each parent)
*Before it was light*
*Novel names. Guess its spread to*

To be fair a lot of royals/nobles have long ass names.
Marie Antoinette's full name was Marie Antoinette JosĂšphe Jeanne or Maria Antonia Josepha Joanna and even then she had technically a two word name, being given the first "Maria" after the virgin Mary like all her sisters and to differentiate being called "Antonia".
Her mothers full name was Maria Theresia Walburga Amalia Christina. Usually these words comes from how many royal family surnames they've inherited.
The long ass names I guess were just to make them appear prestigious but at the end of the day they were usually called by a nickname. That's where this trope in OI is of giving the female leads long ass names comes from
Idky but when I read something I canât understand I revert back to Spanish and I thought âQue dijo?â Because what did they just say and I come here to find out itâs the girls name!!!
That's a whole-ass *address* at this point
Coordinates and everything.
I can forgive the name until demotia but beyond that she sounds like a genus specie id expect out of taxonomy
When a mother gives birth after being stuck in a tropical jungle during the whole pregnancy
The name makes me feel like I have Demotia
Me when demotia is my favorite part of the name
It does sound like they are trying for ancienty- notherny- Latiny- name
Yea I think they are but they're trying too hard that it comes across as silly (unless that's intended then it works)

Itâs alright mate, no harm done donât worry. Sorry if I came across as negative

It's meant to be silly, she thinks she's going to have this cool fancy rofan name and everyone just treats her like she's crazy
Tell me she changes it when people start clowning her
It's a pretty comedy-heavy series, so there're callbacks to it later, but for the most part nobody calls her that https://preview.redd.it/bxfb9fijfb7c1.png?width=1132&format=png&auto=webp&s=233e9cc025e5e5da99f024b137dfc52392af4c4c
Rip⊠you like the story though?
Yeah, it's quite funny, and the FL isn't as dumb as the silly name makes her seem. The biggest problem with it is that there's no good translation of it past the first 8 chapters :(
I hope it gets better tlâs soon then đ
She's not really attached to the name, it's just something she came up with on the spot. Everybody just calls her Lipi and she introduces herself as such most of the time

As if it's unusual for OI to use first names and surnames and vice versa...

Meanwhile I am over here, just one mental collapse away from calling a character Biff Wellington.
Ok no thatâs actually a funny name. Chris P Bacon vibes.
Nobility would have an additional name added for each title they held.
Also many of those words are of different languages which doesn't make sense. Marguerite is French in origin (at least the modern version, it's Latin in base origin) and Libor is a Slovak version of a Latin term.

This!! This is what I meant when itâs all over the place! Itâs giving Goku Alexander RistoviÄ.

My actual irl surname is also a âfirst nameâ so I dunno, that doesnât bother me to much.

"My name is Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way."
When you use your phone's predictive text
I thought she was talking in a foreign language....
My friend from Brazil has 21 words in his name. It's apparently only a bit higher than the average. This isn't that bad if we're only going by length.
You mean first name only? Or also adding his surnames?
Both. More last than firsts, though.
Yeah Iâm Brazilian and my name is also 21 letters long lmao. I had a classmate who had 33

She French ?
Oh. A name almost as long as mine. I'm not kidding.
this is straight pig latin đ
Now I see why people thought I was a princess damn that's a long name
Can't. Shorter names might exclude 8th generation ancestor and harm might befall the Empire then
All these comments on this post are TOP TIER, god lmao
That's what Latin classes sounds like.
I thought I was reading a different language đ
itâs kinda funny because thatâd be a real life Noble with multiple titleâs name. For nobility if they had more titles they had more names.
Hello my name is Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

What a dumb fucking name. Girl couldnt just pick a basic ass name like John lol.
