lore:dunmer names and dagoth names

Post by VelothiConservative »

Should not the names of all dagoth ash vampires and ash ghouls, and ur himself, be part of the compilation of dunmer names? Given that 'dagoth' is on the list as a surname, I find it odd that the first names of the members are not included. As far as I know, the members of house dagoth were dunmer/chimer, but have been mutated by magic. But they're names are still dunmer, just like the names of vampires can still be imperial or of any other race, even though they've now become vampires. Their names certainly look like normal dunmer names. I know that they are not technically dunmer or even considered human, but instead technically being creatures, but that is for technical reasons and lorewise, they are just mutated dunmers. I don't think such technical reasons are good enough to exclude them from the list. The names, which is all that matters, are after all dunmer, and a list that seeks to compile all dunmer names must be incomplete without them.

So what do you think? Has this been discussed before? Or has it just been overlooked?
