It's easy to  translate your name in thranx :

1. : Pick the first three letters of your first name
2. : Pick the first three letters of your family name
3. : Pick the first three letters of your county/ region/ lander etc.
4. : Pick the first three letters of your city/ town / village ( don't use adjectives like New or St. )

example:  John Smith from St. Petersburg,  Texas

John --->  Joh   this is his personal name
Smith ---> Smi   this is his family name
Texas --->  Tex   this is his hive name
( St.) Petersburg --->  Pet   this is his clan name

Now we are ready for the complete name:   Johsmitexpet
 

Thranx use their full name in the majority of situations , but in familiar speech
they call one another by their personal name ( e.g. Joh ) or by personal + family names
(e.g. Johsmi ).

For more realism you can substitute a few letters ( if are used more than one time ) with others :

• "s" with "z"
• "c" with "x"
• "i" with "y"
• substitute any vowel ,if it is the last letter of the full thranx name, with  "x"

e.g.  Alafosaripre ---> Alafosariprx
