====Child name====


People of the Coast of Temples give their children a well-chosen first name during the first sunbathing ceremony or name them after the birth hezala (month). The name is two-part and consists of an often nature-themed first name and a family name which is formed by adding ''nyy'' (son), ''muu'' (daughter), ''puu'' (child) or ''pupuu'' (grandchild) to the adult name of the parent or grandparent who is high in the social hierarchy. Great names are deserved for children with high class origins, and are often kept for a whole lifetime. High class owners may also name the children of their servants.

In daily, casual usage, diminutives are used to express close relationship and to distinguish between people with same names. Common ways of forming diminutives include:
*Lengthening the first syllable vowel and removing geminated sounds from latter syllables. Removing final vowels or replacing them with ''o'' is also common: ''Ofyre'' → ''Oofyr'', ''Oofre'', ''Oofer'', ''Oofo''; ''Hakkuku'' → ''Haakuk'', ''Haako''
**Final plosive consonant may be turned into the best corresponding fricative or nasal: ''Haakuk'' → ''Haakuh'' or ''Haakung''
*Removing the first syllable or other non-stressed syllable: ''Hakkyky'' → ''Ky(y)ky''; ''Geedy'' → ''Gee''
*Changing first consonant to the same as the second or simply geminating the stressed syllable: ''Navu'' → ''Vavu'', ''Vuvu''
