So, lately I've been in the mood to maybe join an Avatar roleplay somewhere and in preparation for doing that, I started to build a character. I have the bare outlines of my little bender...except for a name. Now, I wanted something that would fit into the Avatar world, so I started writing out different character names from the show and hoping to hit on some inspiration...found something else in the process, regarding names and what nation the character comes from. Well, at least for Fire Nation names and Water tribe names. :3
For example, the Water tribe seems to favor names ending with an 'uh' sound, usually found at the end of the name, and also just long vowels in general:
Katara
Hakoda
Sokka
Kanna
Hama
Pakku
Fire nation names seem to favor names with short vowels:
Zuko
Ozai
Iroh
Azula
Mai
Roku
Of course, this doesn't really apply to all names, but I noticed it applies to a good portion of them.
Also, I'm sure there's some form of commonality between Air Nomad names and Earth Kingdom names, but I haven't found one as of yet. :3
Anyone have thoughts on this, or maybe point out the commonality that I'm missing with the other two nations?
