So the Anon editor knows - yes there was something wrong with your edit. We do not assume surnames. Skine is never addresed as "Skine Redkite". -- [[User:LordTBT|LordTBT]] [[Image:Tbtico.jpg]] [[Message_Wall:LordTBT|Talk!]] 00:09, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, especially since the stories are set in a medieval-type world where surnames are sometimes tacked on like nicknames instead of passed down from family to family (i.e. [[Damug Warfang]] is not Damug [[Gormad Tunn|Tunn]]).

Damug Warfang is a title. Damug Tung is his real name. [[User:Argulor|Argulor]] ([[User talk:Argulor|talk]]) 17:52, August 30, 2017 (UTC)

:No, surnames are not assumed, because many characters have different surnames than their parents. -- [[User:LordTBT|LordTBT]] [[Image:Tbtico.jpg]] [[Message_Wall:LordTBT|Talk!]] 00:26, August 31, 2017 (UTC)

Why do they have different surnames than their parents? Shouldn't that be proof that they aren't biologically related? [[User:Argulor|Argulor]] ([[User talk:Argulor|talk]]) 04:23, August 31, 2017 (UTC)

:Different cultures do surnames differently in real life than the traditional western of passing the father's surname down. For instance, in some nordic lands, your surname is either your father or mother's Christian name with "-sson" or "-dottir" added. In some native tribes surnames are added like titles based on doings, like the vermin add titles such as "warfang" to their surname. If there is variety in real life there is no reason why there can't be variety in a fictional series of books. In fact, even if there WASN'T variety in real life there's no reason there can't be in a fictional book because the author is quite entitled to make up his own world with his own rules.

:This is extraordinarily naive. No? Many siblings have different surnames than their parents, and each other. Even in western society. That is not how the world works. Additionally, many siblings WHO ARE NOT biologically related can have the same surname. -- [[User:LordTBT|LordTBT]] [[Image:Tbtico.jpg]] [[Message_Wall:LordTBT|Talk!]] 22:38, September 1, 2017 (UTC)
