I can't think of any example of an Argonian with a family name. Can anyone think of any examples? If not, does anybody know if they have some sort of naming system.
Do Argonians have surnames?

Re: Do Argonians have surnames?
They do not, at least not in the traditional sense. The thing is, we know next to nothing about traditional Argonian names. We have no idea what they mean.

Re: Do Argonians have surnames?
Argonians may see themselves as children of the world rather than of other Argonians. Thus, their names comes from world experience rather than what is preordained by blood.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.
Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.
