Chelish names?

There were good examples for Shoanti and Varisian names, but none for Chelish. You guys have any suggestions for my player?

There's a few "hidden" Chelish names in there. While we're strong trying to avoid giving any of our countries a direct real world analog—like how Ravenloft's Falkovnia equates to Germany, the Forgotten Realms's Calimshan equates to fantasy Arabia, or how Red Steel has a lot of Spanish influence—Cheliax has an old, cultured, and slightly sinister feel to it, so a hint of Italian has crept into some of the naming conventions. Characters in the Player's Guide of Chelish descent and thus having Chelish names include: Daravayne Gioa Amprei, Erodred and Ileosa Arabasti, Haldmeer Grobaras, and Kendra Deverin. Aside from these, letters at the end of the alphabet have also been creeping into Chelish names a lot, "V" "X" "Y" and "Z" especially.

Aside from all this, we'll put Chelish names on the list of bit to include in Curse of the Crimson Throne's Player's Guide.
