Lore talk:Bosmer Names

Names in books

Do we actually names found in Lore material such as books? I'm don't believe that's the case, and that's why I reverted these edits. Wolok gro-Barok 23:22, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, we do (verb missing) such names. Look at Lore:Names for examples. We put them under a special section named "Lore" if they are from books that are not game-specific, or if they are (like names from scrolls, books relating to occurrences in game etc.), we put them in their respective game section. -- kertaw48 08:19, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I noticed that, but we don't do that for any of the main ten races, it appears. Otherwise a whole lot more need to be added. Wolok gro-Barok 10:31, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

As well as it should. There are a lot of names in the books and not adding them (eventually) would make this article miss a lot of potential information. -- kertaw48 11:00, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Yamum

So under the male Oblivion names is 'Yamum'. As far as I know there isn't a Bosmer by this name, and it seems like just someone trying to make a 'Your mom' joke. Figured I'd ask about for any objections before removing it though. 2.29.91.184 13:39, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

The most recent edit to the page (three days ago) has removed the name. I'm guessing you're seeing an outdated version of the page, due to known caching issues UESP has for users who aren't logged in. Creating an account and viewing the site when logged in should solve this issue. ABCface^◥ 13:42, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Dunmer Names vs Bosmer Names

Small nitpick, but I don't see the point in stating that some of the Bosmer names possibly being Dunmer in origin is a mistake of the devs or potentially hints at the character having some sort of Dunmer background. There are real names that exist in multiple real languages for various reasons. It doesn't mean the person has to be of the culture their name originated from. This wouldn't be a mistake. --Kadraeus (talk) 03:29, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
