Re: Naming conventions?
I would rather wonder why there is 'eudmelambi' in the title. Lugal means king and Nirgal is ancient god. If they would put smth in the middle it would have a meaning 'servant of', 'priest of', 'bearer of power of' etc. But I really cannot find word 'eudmelambi' anywhere, hmm...  |

Re: Naming conventions?
It's creeping cultural influence from C'tis. What's your excuse for a one letter name?

Re: Naming conventions?
Most of the c'tissian names are old sumerian, babylonian and assyrian names. I may have made mistakes while writing them, but most are names of gods, kings and historical figures.
Many kings used combinations of lugal and a couple of other epithets in their names.
