Potential names

Type I

Names consisting of Hebrew-originated given names, Irish clade and microclade names, and floral coterie names. Elements include:

• Av – Meaning "of" (from Norwegian); indicates clade/microclade of origin
• Med – Meaning "from" (from Norwegian); indicates coterie affiliation
• Dauter/ssun – Meaning "daughter" or "son" (variation of "dotter/sson" from Old Norse)

Names are organized in a "top-down" fashion, with the name of the Mikaean provided first, and then the rest of their name from most important to least important. Order goes: Given name/Patronymic/Clade/Microclade/Coterie. Examples:

• Abigail Jacobdauter Av'Ward-Durkin Med'Nymphea
• Esther Michaeldauter Av'Neal-Sheahan Med'Hydrangea
• Mabelle Aarondauter Av'Devereux-Cochrane Med'Gardenia
• Ruth Josephdauter Av'Morgan-Drummond Med'Gypsophila
• Sapphira Abrahamdauter Av'Burke-Veale Med'Xylosma

In common documentation and discussion, name would be provided as Esther Med'Hydrangea, rather than Esther Av'Neal-Sheahan, with additional context as clade of origin, father (and thus microclade), and place of birth provided as required. Due to the nature of Mikaean reproduction, several tens of thousands of female Mikaeans can share the same father, making identification by patronymic and clade name counterproductive and distasteful. Identification according to coterie name is far more helpful as coteries are either assigned names (in the case of matronic coteries), or agreed upon names (in the case of maiden coteries), making their use more unique within conversations and identification of Mikaeans within the same clade much easier to accomplish. Due to their scarcity and upbringing, male Mikaeans will commonly identify themselves by their clade name, as they do not enter into coteries and are instead raised by their fathers on their estates. Thus, a male will likely introduce himself as Jonathan Av'Ward-Scannell or Jonathan Ephraimssun.

Type II

Names developed from a complex number of agreed upon name elements from an index written up by the ruling patriarchs of the Mikaegeny.

Examples of these names include:

• Female names
  • Mykell Mykol Blackstone (M. M. B.) LII Sabaelyn Alasulaémya
  • M. H. S. Yaesula Tyasullamya
  • M. H. P. Janellaé Helynuémya
  • M. K. K. Elavana Sulanoramya
  • M. K. D. Finellyn Baelluémya

Due to their vast numbers and lack of immediate personal identification, Mikaeans are only ever given names as a reward for service, as a consequence of their advancement in rank, or posthumously if determined their death was worthy of honoring with a name.

The term "miya" is a generic classification used by the patriarchs to refer to all female Mikaeans regardless of rank or status, and names are only rewarded as a direct consequence of completing an important task, advancing to a rank of importance, or as a way of honoring their service to the Highfather. Because of this, all Mikaeans hold a great deal of disdain and offense at the concept of being referred to by the term "miya", and can be commonly provoked into anger by such behavior. Indeed, the revocation of a name as a punishment is a great source of shame to the individual, once which strips them of their hard-won individuality and returns them to a state of "unpersonhood" all to common within the Mikaegeny, and reverts them to a status of just yet another drone.
