Notes:
In informal usage only a persons personal name is used. If it is required to distinguish between two Konrell with the same personal name the rank is used as well if they are both from the same crew/island or the ship/island name if they are not. In the rare event two Konrell have exactly the same full name they tend to acquire a nickname which is used instead of a personal name.
In the event that a significant number of Konrell settle down to a shorebound existence the ship/island part of the name will likely be expanded to include settlement names.
