Stupid randomly generated last names for landed lowborns (or not so randomly...)

[Kidneythump]

I just gave Lombardy to one of my retinue captains, he got the name Komnenodoukas, what gives?

Check the culture of the county, it might not be what you think it is.

edit: If there is some significance to the name or it's a joke name, my bad.

Wow, that's two Empirial dynasties right there

In my latest game, some Turkish lowborn, upon being granted a slice of rocky desert, happily proclaimed himself Bey Aydin I of the Theodosiopolid dynasty. What gives, indeed.

Though it's always a blast to see Sultan Sultan II. Sultan »The Sultan« of the Sultan Sultanate or such nonsense. And I recall from the EU3 Strange Screenshots thread some Genoese ruler going by »Serene Doge Prospero Imperiale«. Now that's just swag!

Haha indeed! Well KomnenoDoukas sure is a swell duke of Lombardy so i wont complain to much And to be fair the vast majority of names so far has been really nice, dont get why they mix in other dynasties in the name though, just for shits and giggles?

I just give lowborn guys new land because i got real "new" dynasties and not another blabla of blala. If you call a courtier than you got just a man with of (one of your holdings) as family name which is kind of boring...

Now that I did'nt expect I take back everything I've posted (still a silly name though, even though they existed)

Isn't it just a combined name of the Doukas and Komnenos dynasties? Used by an emperor to make it clear he belonged to both prestigious families.

It seems more logical to me that lowborns made nobles would take the dynasty name "of [holding he was given]".

After taking Brittany from the Almoravids in a holy war (yes ... *sigh*), I made a lowborn count of Rennes then duke of Brittany. The name of his house? de Cherletegne. Now, I haven't taken French since the 80s, but if that's pronounced the way I think it is ...

I'm pretty sure it is...

I've seen a de Tunis spawn in Africa.

My new duke of aquileia got the name Doukas, but with a new shield....
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here
