- Follow the clan pattern. Each clan and gender has its own syllable rule, so the pattern decides the shape of the name.
- Say it out loud. Lalafell names sound playful and bouncy, so a name like Lonana Lona is easy to remember.
- Keep each syllable short. Short syllables like ka, ri, and po keep the name inside the FFXIV limit of 15 characters per name.
- Skip canon names. Names like Tataru Taru and Papalymo Totoro belong to known characters, so the generator leaves them out.
