The Lalafell in Final Fantasy XIV use names that are ruled by rhythm, repetition, and rhyming (as well as a little alliteration). Syllable count also plays a large part. There are four unique sets of rules, and these rules are rarely deviated from. Once the rules are learned, one will be able to discern a Lalafell's clan and gender by simply looking at a name. The Lalafellin language (used by the clans before they arrived in Eorzea) originally only possessed five distinct vowels: a e i o u. It should be noted that Lalafellin pronunciation is nearly congruent with that of Japanese.
