But one thing I can't figure out is the naming conventions for Alexandrians.
Most of the Lalafell (Milalla) have names that are palindromes, and the Viera, Hyur and Eleven seem to have a few options which range from fairly typical-looking names, types of gems/rocks/Earth like Sphene and Geode, and then feelings or emotions like Nostalgia.
