-==Structure==
-Most people who use Shalaian names either use a new Shalaian given name and keep their original surname, or use a full name consisting of 3 to 5 Shalaian names. There are no true family names in Shalaian as used in AETHER, since families as we know them no longer exist as social units; however, one may choose to take a partner's surname if they have one. Some people may give themselves invented Shalaian family names.

 ==Transcription of foreign names==
 Shalaian transcriptions of English names normally use the closest approximation to the Conservative RP pronunciation (e.g. 'Casey' is ''Cáese''  not ''Cáesi''), but are sometimes somewhat etymologically informed (e.g. Hebrew names such as ''Ħána'' 'Hannah' and ''Rívca'' 'Rebecca').
