<strong><span class="bbc_u">Naming Practices of the Germanic Tribes</span></strong><br/><br/>Or...  "Unfortunately the records don't go back that far..."<br/><br/>I'm going to post a few links from my SCA stuff so that the gals can have some idea of the Germanic/Frankish naming practices that may have been in use at the time of our story.  Unfortunately, they being women, their names were only recorded if important...and at that time women were property in that area.  Even more so in the Roman empire.  (In the matriarchal Brythonic tribes they were not...but we're not in England, we're in Germany...so.)<br/><br/>http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/guntram/franks.htm (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/guntram/franks.htm)<br/>http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/other/merovence.html (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/other/merovence.html)<br/>http://members.tripod.com/nicolaa5/articles/german.html (http://members.tripod.com/nicolaa5/articles/german.html)<br/><br/>And remember, as captives, they would be renamed something else a Roman could pronounce... ;-)
