Will Hulme asked Kendare Blake:

Do parents on Fennbirn tend to name their daughters after queens? Whether they are Queens Crowned or Fallen Queens?

Kendare Blake They don’t. It’s not exactly forbidden but it’s sort of frowned upon. There aren’t many naming conventions on the island that I can think of...except that girls are typically given grander names and boys are called things like Bob Rick or Steve. Nothing fancy, unless he’s a poisoner or especially an Arron, hence Pietyr, Antonin and the many Lucians.
