How changeling names are structured
A changeling name is usually one or two plain syllables (Ash, Vey, Nim) with a light ending — deliberately easy to adopt and abandon.
Changeling naming conventions
Changelings shift their faces at will, so their names are equally fluid — short, simple mask-names adopted for a role and discarded when the role ends. A changeling may have dozens of names over a lifetime.
Examples of changeling names
Veyen, Asho, and Nim sit squarely in the changeling tradition of disposable mask-names without copying any specific published character.

Frequently asked questions
How do changeling names work?
Changelings adopt short, simple mask-names for whatever role they are playing and discard them when the role ends. One changeling may use dozens of names.
Do changelings have a true name?
Sometimes a changeling keeps a private name shared only with trusted kin, but most names are temporary masks.
