Writing a story(in character explanation for being banned for six months from the dust forums) and I just realized that I don't know Amarrian names(basically, saying I was exiled to Amarr space and technically working security for a minor holder family)

So I was wondering if there is an established naming convention?

Hey Smile

You can look here to get a feel for the naming styles and conventions.

In general I would go with Persian, Greek, Latin, or Arabic names though the naming convention seems to be fairly standard English (First Name & Surname).

Hope that is somewhat helpful.

If you're looking for names for people, then, as well as the names of agents, you might also look at the randomly-generated family names in the character creator.

someone posted a list of names here: http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=1354.0

So, if you take some first names of agents of the right bloodline, and some of the other agent names, and the random family names, then you should have plenty to combine to make some names :)

I've noticed sometimes that some agents have a solar system name as their surname - for Amarr people, this might be fairly significant, because they could be minor nobility. Or related to more important people, but forbidden to use the family name, so they use the solar system name instead.
