It does in some countries. Check out somewhere like Iceland.
If my name is Gunnar, then my son is *forename Gunnarsson & my daughter is *forename Gunnarsdottir.
For non-binary offspring, they can use "bur" (child of) instead of son or dottir.

This is how most Norse countries used to name their children. I think Iceland is the last remaining one that uses this system.

I presume that other countries also have gender specific surnames, e.g. Bulgarian footballer, Stiliyan Petrov. His wife's surname is Petrova.

Interesting. Good to learn new things every day. :WeSmart:

From i:
"In some cultures and languages, especially the Baltic languages (Latvian and Lithuanian), and most of the Slavic languages (such as Bulgarian, Russian, Slovak, Czech, etc.) and some other nations – Greece and Iceland – surnames change form depending on the gender of the bearer.

Some Slavic cultures originally distinguished the surnames of married and unmarried women by different suffixes, but this distinction is no longer widely observed."

I did not know it was common in quite so many places, especially not Greece!

I knew about the Slavic "Xxxova" to "Xxxov" and similar, but when in Lithuania (it was a couple years ago) I really stumbled across the fact that indeed if a girl told you her full name, you knew whether she was married or not.

The Icelandic variation isn't a family name as such - they don't have a family name (thus it changes every generation). Russian even has both and the last name is often less important than the patronym. So Vladimir, son of Igor Petrov, would be Vladimir Igorovich Petrov - and more likely known to his acquaintances as Vladimir Igorovich than Vladimir Petrov.

Of course many names which are now "normal" family names started off as patronyms - basically everything ending in "-son", the Scottish "Max Xxx", Irish "O'Xxx" and so forth, but by now do not indicate the name of your father anymore.

It is interesting, I have studied a lot of cultures, even some which were very sexist and possessing, but I had not seen that particular tradition before. I suppose, when I was looking into that part of the world, I was more concerned with mythology than family names. lol

"In Greece, if a man called Papadopoulos has a daughter, she will likely be named Papadopoulou, the genitive form, as if the daughter is "of" a man named Papadopoulos.
In Lithuania, if the husband is named Vilkas, his wife will be named Vilkienė and his unmarried daughter will be named Vilkaitė. Male surnames have suffixes -as, -is, -ius, or -us, unmarried girl surnames aitė, -ytė, -iūtė or -utė, wife surnames -ienė."

I knew son & dottir, from Norse traditions, but I had no idea the similar custom was so widespread in Baltic & Slavic nations & I certainly did not know that Greece used a similar system.

Where did you go, for your education? Oxford? Cambridge?
Nah, F95 Zone. :ROFLMAO:

I've done multiple searches throughout this thread but I'm still stuck...
Does anyone know how to unlock the Gallery picture 7,8 for Julia, 7,8 for Amber, 7 for Kay, 7 for Laura, 7 for Hana and 1st for Catalina?
The 7 ones are when they masturbate apparently but I have no idea what conditions need to be setup in order to trigger those (I have everything else unlocked, stalling on finishing the game) and the 8 ones, respectively 1st for Catalina are with Amanda when they train (I have set them up to train, individually, Gallery didn't unlock the picture).
Would really appreciate it. Thanks

Julia's and Amber's image #7 is when she is assigned to housekeeping after you have found the "special item". #8 is when she is in the study.

Kay's image #7 is when she is assigned to maintenance after you have found the "special item".

Laura's image #7 is when she is assigned to healthcare after you have found the "special item".

And Hana's first image is when she is wearing her level 1 outfit while assigned to security.

There's also a gallery guide on here as well if you need it. The link to it is in OP.

Can you attach your player log, please?

Use the Windows + R keys and paste this into your Run box:
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Faerin Games\Mystwood Manor

You'll need to put the log in a Zip, RAR or 7z file before attaching it.

The first thing I would suggest is getting version 1.1.0 as that contains a hotfix. Then move your profile folder over to that version. Second, I'd recommend moving the game's folder out of the "Program Files" folder. Move it to at least C so it's "C:\Mystwood Manor v1.1.0". Then try replaying that event.

Other than that, I'm not seeing any errors in the log other than your firewall blocking Unity.
