Chlouvānem names are made by three different parts: the '''matronymic''' (in Chl. ''nāḍimāvi''), the '''surname''' (''leliėmihaloe''), and one or more '''personal''' (or '''given''') '''names''' (''lilahaloe'', pl. ''lilahalenī''— commonly just ''haloe/halenī''). This is the standard for people everywhere in [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|the Inquisition]], but note that ethnic ''Bazá'' people from ''Tūnambasā'' diocese may also be called with the standard names for the ''Bazá'' people; anyway in the last two decades the Chlouvānem standard has grown from being used by 25% to 93% of all Bazá people living in Tūnambasā diocese; titular ethnicities in other ethnic dioceses follow the Chlouvānem standard.<br/> | Chlouvānem names are made by three different parts: the '''matronymic''' (in Chl.

The Chlouvānem informal name ('' | The Chlouvānem informal name (''laltihaloe'', from ''lalteh'' (friend) and ''haloe'' (name)) is the form of the given name used in many particularly informal settings. As with all things informal in the Chlouvānem-speaking world, there is no uniform rule because they are deeply influenced by the local vernacular and, more often than not, they are never even used when speaking Chlouvānem as such kind of conversations may often be exclusively in the vernacular.<br/>However, there is a simple pattern that can be used in order to derive pan-Inquisitiorial informal names from given names: either the first or the stressed syllable of the name is taken, with optional vowel changes (usually ''a'' to ''æ'', ''æ'' and ''ai'' to ''e'', ''e'' to ''i'', and often ''o'' to either ''a'' or ''u''), and ''-ī'' for female informal names or ''-em'' for male ones. Female names often shift post-tonic velars, ''h'', or ''s'', to palatals.<br/>As different syllables may be taken, there are even for this pattern different possibilities. Some examples (usually, the more common a name is and the more informal forms it has): | ||
