Halflings typically have two given names, the first being a personal,
and the
second a family name. The family name is passed down through
paternal
lineage, and typically remains constant over time. Females take
the
family name of their husband upon marriage. Many halflings also
possess one or more earned names, names or titles given to an
individual after some important event. It is not uncommon for a
halfling with an earned name
to use his first name and eanred name only when introducing himself.
eg:
Milo Bunce or Milo Slyhand (Male)
Jenny Gardner or Jenny Stoutleaf (Female)
