I am thinking about Talan and Hissra, too. Since the Qunlat words we know of are very few I might just make up something that sounds like it. Vhaara, Ishtaan, should be easy enough. Or maybe they will get some normal names that go nicely with the surname. Or maybe they will be named like things since Qunari don't know the concept of first names. Like, Freedom or Dew or Maverick.

Not quite sure which route it will be. Aah the possibilities... Man am I excited, I'll end up creating hundreds of Qunari, I can tell already.

I'm calling her Lady.

I figured that since she was Vasoth and denounced the Qun she gave up whatever title she would have had. In my headcanon she started working with human mercenaries and when asked her name she replied that she no longer had a name so they started calling her "Lady" and it just kind of stuck. I imagine they would be too intimated by a woman her size to call her something impolite so yeah...Lady it is.

I'm going for a combination in Qunlat. Considering Evaari as a combination of "Eva, unknown" and "Ari, person"

I think the Inquisitor is Vashoth (being born outside of the Qun), versus Tal-Vashoth (renouncing the Qun).  Her parents might have renounced the Qun, but she would have been born afterwards and was never part of it to begin with.  At least if my understanding is correct.

I believe you're right. But my headcanon has shot Bioware canon out the sky.

it's also possible, though highly unlikely, that the Qunari-Inquiz could of be a descendent of the Kossith that had a settlement in the southern Korcari Wilds. This then could explain why an 'Non-Qun' Qunari is so far south in Ferelden, and so might not have had much is any contact with Qunari culture as we understand it. 
But then no one knows. 
These are the things we have to work until more information is available. 

 

When do we get more info? I'm like dying here of my information thirst.

looking at the Qunlat I'm really liking the Word Asala (Soul), Aqun (Balance) and Say (With). So two combinations come in mind. Asalaqun (Balance of the Soul) and Sayasala (With Soul). I like the first one for the male Qunari and the second one for the female.

My female qunari will be named "Koshira" to be a play on its reversed form "Arishok".

 

She'll be the opposite of the traditional qunari except in her militaristic actions. Even in that area, the difference will be that, unlike Qunari, she wont take prisoners.

 

My male will be named "Ashkaari" because like him, he will bring order to the chaos, bringing significant reforms upon Thedas, though with a kind heart rather than with an iron fist.

I want my first male Qunari mage to be named either Aqun, which means "balance" or Hissra, which means "illusion".

 

Maybe I'll name one Ebasit, which means "to be".

I am going with Imogen for my f!mage Qunari Inquisitor. While not Qunlat obviously, I thought it had a nice tonality to it and I like it's meaning in connection with Mages (Imagine ~ Dream).

there are going to be 8989798 female qunari inquisitors with the same few names, from a small pool of words in qunlat that mean "pretty" things, such as:

 

asala (soul) ash (to seek) hissra (illusion) issala (dust) meraad (the tide)

 

meh.

Its not like our inquisitors will run into each other so i say why not, if it suits you then roll with it, no need to worry about others.

It's a good thing that you won't need to see what anyone else names their characters given that it's a single player game.

Why people care about what other people do in their games, I'll never know.....

Correction. I plan to name my MALE Qunari one of those names.

Oooh Thank you. Never again will I have to sit staring at my character in the CC thinking "WHAT IS YOUR NAME!?!?" I can just use that site. 

Also, I am obligated to name at least one of my Inquisitors *ROBERT*

My qunaris will hate qun and don't want anything to do with it. So their names will be far from it too. My first inquisitor is going to be named Skye and I think I want something with obvious meaning to my other qunari's too.

For my male Qunari I would have to go with a real good tough name like Barbie.

I'll probably name her either Aurora or Ryz.

 

It's not like she's ever gonna be reference by her first name anyway.
