While he's very new, I do have a Chiss on Ebon Hawk by the name of "Syph'an'nuruodo". I've always thought Chiss were fascinating (and visually striking), but was focusing pretty intently on my cyborg BH, Xandergost. I need to work out a backstory for him now. I guess most would call him "Hann," but I sort of like the sound of "Phann" more.

Well, I did something unique but still within the Chiss system.

 

Cuy'val'dar

 

This is actually a Mandalorian phrase that means, they who no longer exist with adjusted punctuation (normally Cuy'val Dar)

 

Cuy- We know there are some unidentified Mandalorian clans (probably quite a few) so I use Cuy as the clan name in place of the family name. (he was raised primarily Mando'a) It means to exist.

Val- given name (root) means they in Mando'a. This is just where it fit as part of the phrase.

Dar- No, or no longer works well as a chiss "occupation" name as he is no longer a part of the greater Chiss community and can throw in a little more Mando'a to finish the phrase...

 

He actually goes by Cuy (least I and all my guildies do). If I followed convention his core name would be Cald or Yvald neither of which is too terribly horrible, but I'm just not into them, I like Cuy and going by a clan name isn't unheard of in either culture.

 

Backstory:

He's an agent, once exiled by the Chiss and adopted by the Mando'a. He followed Chiss naming conventions in a rather ironic way when joining Imperial Intelligence so as to blend in. Safe to say, this is more or less the alias he gave to Imperial Intelligence (my head canon for why they call him Cipher 9 is they know he's just screwing with them) and how he is known to other Chiss. His name to the Mandalorians is different.

 

In RL, I love Chiss as a species and Mandalorians as a culture so I figured I'd blend the two. My personal naming conventions have always been one of three things. Celtic//Roman mythology, 4-5 names I came up with on my own and have liked over the years, or Mandalorian words/phrases. I did some research into chiss names when I went to name my guy, and adapted a phrase I had been considering. Fits nicely with the way I ended the agent story.

 

If you really want to be nit picky, I should have named him Cuy'kaysh'dar or the proper way of saying He (or she) who no longer exists

My two Chiss characters are:

Sith Juggernaut: Karr'aro'tarthi

Powertech: Karr'thrin'teer

 

I figured that, being part of the same legacy, they would be likely to belong to the same family, and gave them the same family name. I haven't made any solid decisions about their core names, although I'm leaning toward 'Arota' and 'Thrinte'.

Bunis'rin'vur is my imperial main -- and that is his name. The "bunis" family is often seen running around the Ebon Hawk server. Other chiss call him Srinv of course -- but the annunciation seems to be a little too difficult for those whose native tongue is not cheunh -- so most just call him Rin.

 

My sniper is Unh'anomi'zhuli and she is called hanomizh by those who can pronounce it, and again-- anomi by those who can not.

Core name: Gabriel

Full Name: Synag'abri'elth

 

Story: The Synag, already a small sept, were almost completely wiped out during the war and were saved by directly allying themselves with a Sith Noble house. The last remaining son was basically raised in the Sith empire by a Sith Lord, who did his best to name the child decently if not completely correctly. Still, the Sith focused more on the Basic core name than on class and position when creating the name. At least he still honored the Synag family.

Talosa'renata'halani. I didn't really care about using canon house names as most of the ones we know of are so far in the future that there's got to be a few that died out before then.

 

My sorc is chiss also but as she started out a twi'lek (changed due to hood frustrations) I have no actual chiss name for her. She's the child of exiles in my headcanon, so I imagine she would have a very limited idea of chiss conventions and society anyways and would probably not have a full chiss name.

 

TL;DR I FOLLOWED NAMING CONVENTIONS -high fives self-
