HelpRe: [Oct 19] ~ Name the family! + note
in reply to a message by lepetitviolet
Just FYI: most Polish surnames are gendered, so if a masculine surname ends in i, the feminine form will end in a (for example: Zieliński => Zielińska, Dubicki => Dubicka). Also, nobody is named Joasia or Basia - they're only used as diminutives of Joanna and Barbara respectively.
I really loved this game, the amount of detail and the fantastic names you used, thank you!

If I may correct you, the wife of DS (from the initial family) is Icelandic, not Finnish! The -son and -dotter ending patronymics were used in Finland in the past until surnames became common and finally compulsory in 1921. When it comes to married couples, they may adopt the surname that either spouse had as non-married (normally it's the husband's surname; double-barrelled names are also used) or they may keep their names which is more common nowadays.

Oh, thank you, I didn't know that!
