Naming Guide

-Prefixes
Prefixes (the first part in a person's name) are given at birth by the mother and father of the child/ren. They are based off of one of two things: Hair color and size. Depending on if it's applicable, they can also be named after the presence of freckles or not (there isn't a name for the lack of freckles, however). As a Kid, this is the only name you have/are addressed by.

-Suffixes
Suffixes (the second part in a person's name) are given first at Apprenticeship, and then replaced upon becoming a Warrior.

Warrior-Apprentices are given the suffix "-path," to signify their path to adult- and Warriorhood.
Healer-Apprentices are given the suffix "-seed," to signify their growth as a person just like the herbs they work with.

Upon becoming a Warrior/Healer, they are given a skill- or personality-based suffixes to add to their prefix. This is their full name for what may be the rest of their life. Their suffix can definitely be reverted if they do something that puts them back int the Apprentices' den, or even be ripped away from them if they are to be severely shamed and/or exiled.
