Why Homeworld Matters for Your Name?
Dune Awakening ties your character’s background to naming conventions straight out of Herbert’s novels. Since players start as undercover agents working for the Bene Gesserit tasked with finding the Fremen, picking a name that matches your chosen Homeworld adds real immersion from the very first login.

| Homeworld/House | Style | Example Names |
|---|---|---|

Quick Tips for Picking Your Name
- Atreides names often use suffixes like “II,” “III,” or “IV” to reflect noble lineage
- Harkonnen names lean darker and harsher, fitting the house’s ruthless reputation
- If you want a Fremen-inspired feel (even though Fremen aren’t playable yet), draw from Middle Eastern and North African naming traditions
- Stick to one naming style throughout for consistency and better roleplay immersion
