In modern Hangkerim there is a family name which usualy comes from the
mothers family name, and a given name which is usualy chosen by the
father.  This is the official name every individual is recognized by the
bureaucracy.  When each Hangkerimre joins a "club" will chose a name
s/he will be recognized by the club members, this name is his club name.

Usually a Hangkerimre will be known for the society by the name of the
club, close friends or club members will use the club name, while he
will be recognice by his primary family with his given name.

After I have no enough vocabulary and naming system yet I will exemplify
like this:

My mother family name is Pinz=F3n, PIN/ZUN^ in Hangkerimce.

My father would have chosen Carlos as my given name, KA^RU\LU~ in
Hangkerimce.

Then may Oficial name would have been KA^RU\LU~-PIN/ZUN^, my parents,
syster, uncles, aunts, etc. would call me KA^RU\LU~.

When I grew up I would join the Conlang club: KUN^LAN^; and chosed
Chlewey as my name: HI\YU^HI\.  Common people on streat would call me
KUN^LAN^ and my friends and other conlangers would call me HI\YU^HI\.
Those names are not official and many Hangkerimre are not part of any
club.  They will use their given-family name their whole life.

Given names are usualy chosen after historical names: the name of a
king, a Semtalika goddess, a holy (wo)man; or names of animals.
Christian Hangkerimre would chose a Christian name like PA^HU\LU~
(Paul), or a Jewish Hangkerimce a Jewish name.

For the club name, a Hangkerimre many Hangkerimre will use their family
or given name but most of the cases will chose a name based in their
personality, like a nikname from schooll, or the name of an animal or a
celestial phenomenom.
