Since the classical second names are more known a few hundred years later and even 'til the end of the mediaval times everywhere used, If O were in your shoes, I'd stick, with the typical ending -dottir (daughter) plus the name of her "father" (if you want to name one) or choose a describing name for one characteristic Of her and translate at to the Germanic with an online dictionary (een if this is abit noob /D). :)
@AwesomeBirdSama Somebody to look over the voicing like I did with the france audition. The shirt was the closest I could find when I recorded this (It's a tad akin to the undershirt Germania has). It's a bit hard to find Leather body plating, which as far as I can tell seems to be the 'official' uniform, along with the cape, of which I know I have one.
Nice. I gave you a few thoughts acconrding accent and bachground noises via PM so I won't talk about it now.
I am not that happy with the name though...
I know it's a female form of "otto" but because of the ending and the similarity in sound with the latin word "audire", I sounds so romanized in my ears.
I'd suggest something more harsh, aggressive, almost masculine like "Ingeborg" or "Hildegard" ("i"="ee", rolled "r" and "g" like in "gorgeous"). X'D
And I don't speak my 'r's correctly by english terms either.
I have a very soft R, or a roll it in the welsh manner, which could fit in the with celtic parts of Germania.
The noise was actually what I was using to record the video, sorry. XD
Okay. That's what I did with the name, I looked for old germanic names on the internet and discussed it with my sister. I lost contact with my friend who spoke german fluently, which is a pity, so I didn't have
as i said, if you go be the germanic tribes (not the celtic), you should be on the right way with old english, since it is closer to the original "germanic" languages and dialects than the high german we speak in nowadays. ^^"
Yes, because it's not that simple...You can't talk about "germania" as country in the way we define a country or a nation in nowadays.
I'd personally go by ethnicities to define what's "Germania" and what's celtic or slavic, but of course there are a lot of mixing. Especially in Germany. the biggest part of the region, what's germany in nowadays was settled by slavic and celtic groups or by a mix..a few non-european (e.g. jews since 400, africans or asians).
@AwesomeBirdSama True. Even with the character such as England, there's confusion as to how he could be so old when the modern england is so recent etc.
So, germania as the people group, rather than the region?
for me england stand for the Anglo-Saxons but that is of course only my interpretation. XD
Germania...it's dificult...i tend to think, that he is representing one ethnicity and stands symbolical as a pars pro toto on the eyes of outsiders like Rome.
Like "england" stand as a pars pro toto for Great Britain in the eyes of other countries eventhough there are, confirmed by Himaruya atleast also ireland and Scotland respresented by other entities.
How did you get the Idea that Anglosaxons were Scandinavian?
the Anglosaxons are a combination out of Frisians, Jutes, Saxons and Angles. All these groups settled in the North of Central Europe, means Netherlands, Northern Germany and Denmark none of these ethnicities are originated in the scandinavian peninsula...
for me England is a stepbrother of Wales/Scotland/Irelands, who are all children of mama Celts, together with a lot of other ethnicities in other countries.
I had to google Colchester castle, I'd suggest taking a more general book about that time.
the Normans came from scandinavia, yes, and they influenced the Anglosaxons, yes. But they weren't Anglosaxons. Normans were doing raids during the 8th to 11th century in the whole region between the baltic and the north sea, while the Anglosaxons came to great Britain during the end of the 5th and the beginning of the 6th century.
Romanized Normans also settled in the today's Normandie...you know... France.
William the conquerer and Richard Lionheart came from there. So you can see there in fact influenced the people in Great Britain.
But the enthnicity Anglosaxons is still not Norman but a conglomeration of various northern central european ethnicities, like Angles, Saxons, Frisians and Jutes and, according to some linguists, Low Franconians.
@AwesomeBirdSama I know there was a group from scandinavia in Colchester. XD Colchester's the oldest recorded town in the UK, and the castle has bits of Roman, Celtic, Norman, Anglosaxon, and pretty much everybody who ruled england at some point's architecture and stuff. I've been there millions of times.
I don't say that there wasn't a scandinavian group in Colchester, but chronological the Anglosaxons were there (after the celts) before the Normans came.
Also genetically the English are still closer to the Dutch and the people in the former low-saxonian areas of settlement, than they are to the Welsh. the little Island-people seem to be a bit stubborn. ;)
I don't mean that offensive, the Low-saxonians are also closer to the English than to people from former celtic regions. ^^"
We shouldn't trust staticstics too much uin my opinion, because the inididual person is still something different, than a average.
i for example live in northern germany, but big parts of my family came from what's now polish and this is not a exception, oer the half of the people in my generation have somewhere a person from these regions amoung their ancestry and we shouldn't forget, international ports and trading and in case of England also the Colonisation.
but in case of Germania, I think you can take Old-English as a better base for your accent and inspiration than having a look at the modern German culture and language.
I'd suggest do read about the early medieval time in middle europe, scandinavia and England and to hae a look at Plinius the Older, Tacitus and Cäsar, if you are able to find something about it.
Also try to take a look at excavation reports about findings from that time. for example Haithabu.
Since you have such beautiful long hair, why don't you try one of the historical braided hair styles like that of the woman in Ellingkvinden (german: "Elling") for example.
Wow, you're so pretty! :D

@AwesomeBirdSama But the anglo-saxons are scandinavia. XD England is the celts to me, though that makes more sense for Wales/Scotland/Ireland to be.
Okay, so like all the mixes...
Germania's a mutt?
I had to pick a confusing one, didn't I?

@AwesomeBirdSama History from Colchester castle, which was the Romans then the Norman-
Oh shoot it's the Normans that are Scandinavian, isn't it?
/derps
England seems more like a half brother/cousin.
