    Please forgive me if this has been requested already, but if not I would like to request this relatively simple cosmetic feature to add to role play and immersion in SotA.

    We already have noble titles in the game, including those that come with pledges/bundles. We also have last names, that rightfully do not seem to allow spaces in the names. That means if I start the game as Reiner Rubinstein and I turn on a noble title that I possess it reads something like: Baron Reiner Rubinstein. This is a little bit odd though, as it should normally be something like "Baron Reiner Von Rubinstein" or "Lord Reiner Of Rubinstein" or such like. I am not an expert in noble titles, but at least in the German title system "Von" and "Zu" and such are quite mandatory to make it sound correct.

    My suggestion would be to let players choose a last name prefix from a list of choices that is compatible with their nobility title.

    I am neither for nor against this idea but it will make for some unusual names depending on the game filter. For example, Son of Sam, Taste of Honey, Stinky von Cheesenstein.

    Using your guild as your "of territory name" by setting the guild name as that.

    How about using the (primary) town you live?
    "of PaxLair" or "von Braemar"?

    What stops me to put the "von" infront of the second name anyway?

    Last time I tried it would not allow a space. Thus it would become something like Guni vonLiberty. I also don't think players who do not have a nobility title in game (earned via pledge or game play) should be able to "fake" a noble title.

    Good point.
    Dose anybiody know the rules for stuff like that?
    I am sure they are rather complicated.
    But, yes, we need that sort of name prefixes. I like the idea.
