Overabundance of foreign names

Good homins,

lately, more and more people are naming their children with strange, foreign names; names that sound almost like some underworld titles or secret codes. Maybe you did notice it too - with recent influx of newcoming refugees, this practice becomes more and more common.

I have seen strange names consisting of foreign words like The, Hell, Slayer, Phoenix, Darth, Lady, Little, Great, Ugly - what kind of names are those? Ancient laws of our ancestors aren't enforced anymore in these parts of Atys? They should be enforced though, as they were never removed from the books. But instead of enforcing those ancient laws, our lawgivers are doing what? Censoring our atrium fora!
If some laws are enforced while others aren't, we can just as well throw all our laws out of window - together with our traditions and our unique culture, which is, for all we know, only such culture in whole Universe.

What's wrong with traditional Fyros, Zorai, Tryker or even Matis names? Well, for one thing, nobody knows how should they sound like anymore! Our people have spent too much time in Prime roots so they lost most of their culture and lore... now their children are coming back to the Bark, bearing strange, mismatched names and no knowledge of their own ancestry!

Could we try and put together some kind of guidelines to make this name-picking business easier for newcoming refugees? To let them know how should traditional Fyros or Tryker names look like, for instance? After all, name is an important thing, it will stick with them for the rest of their life.
