I've got an urge to write a Fallout 4 + Dragon age Au where Hancock is from an Orlesian noble house but I don't know what name to give him. Any ideas?

 All good Orlesian/French names for men. Personally I like Touisant but, a real Touisant was one of my famous, or infamous, depending on your perspective, ancestors.

Well, since Hancock plays John Hancock, and John Hancock is known for the way he signed the Declaration of Independence, the most straighforward Orlesian noble name would be: Grand Duke de Signature. If it makes sense for him to be in the Chantry, you could use Monseigneur de Signature.

If that is a bit too on-the-nose, John Hancock was a smuggler and Louis Mandrin was a famous French smuggler and ship captain, so, Comte Mandrin de Mer.

You can find a list of known names of Orlesian nobility here:

Thats a weird-ass idea but I'll give you one: Vascar de Guillon.

The idea for the au is this : "Hancock being from an Orlesian noble house. Finds the whole “kill an elf to join the club” tradition of the chevaliers to be seriously *** up. He tries to convince his brother not to become one, but is to late and finds his brother had already killed a little elf kid. Leaves his family to become a commoner and changes his name to one that doesn’t even sound Orlesian because he find the whole country *** up. Pretends not to be Orlesian and tries to hide the accent."

 

I thinking of going for him to change his name to a ferelden, since then no one would think twice over his animosity towards Orlias.

Jean Fitzroy Lebrun.

 

(The extremely nerdy explanation contains spoilers for Fallout 4)

 

Spoiler

At the end of the game we learn that Hancock's real surname is actually McDonough, which translates roughly to "Son of brown chieftain" in Gaelic. Amusingly, there are two french surnames with similar base elements in them, Fitzroy meaning "Son of the King" and Lebrun "Brown".

 

So you can have the very Orlesian sounding "Jean Fitzroy Lebrun" taking the Ferelden name "John McDonough", giving him a paper-thin-disguise of two names that sound totally different but when loosely translated, actually mean pretty much the same thing.

 

And perhaps it's just me, but I kind think Hancock in this AU using McDonough as his alias might be a fun little twist? Although Hancock sounds extremely Ferelden, so it'd works as an alias just as well (and avoids both nerdiness and spoilers)...?

Some first names... Florent, Pierre, Alban, Julien, Gautier, Armand, Fabien, Laurent, Louis, Antonin, Sylvain, Cédric, Claude... hope you find something ok for you !

And family... d'Argent, d'Onterre, Maurel, de Lydes, de Serault, de Monfort... or look to french noble names like d'Amboise, de Guise, de Montcalm, de Clermont-Tonnerre, de Rosière, de la Ferrière...

Crazy idea, bro (but a cool one) I wonder who your SS will be?

Here's my attempt:

Cort - wise councillor
De Monte - lives a top of a mountain (though not sure if Goodneighbour qualify as one )
Elroy - the king

Sorry, I dont have much collection on guys names :rollingeyes:

Edit: typo

I support fanfiction don't get me wrong but the whole trope of abandoning the Empire due to practice is something that went out about the time Fel defected to the rebellion.

Just look up French names, particularly ones that were popular in the middle ages. Orlais is Fantasy Medieval France (or the French region).
