Is it wrong to have an Argonian name on a other race.

    A name many times represents the cultural and social background you come from. If we strictly talk about Tamriel people, many would agree that different races from different part of tamriel have different way of naming themselves and a lot of similarities could be found amongst the folks from same origin. However there are always a few exceptions given personal situations or parents from 2 different backgrounds or many other possibilities.

    In general it feel weird if a dunmer would have an Argonian name same as it'd be if an American had a Indian or African name. But it's a possibility as long as there is an explanation or reason behind it.

    If your dunmer has gone through any such events where he got named into an Argonians fashion then that's how it is and this one sees nothing wrong with it.

    Realistically, yes.

    Lol sorry to be a party pooper but why would a dunmer ever have the name of an argonian after they enslaved them?
    No dunmer in tamriel would realisically be given a arognian name at birth or given the name themself.



    Just because slavery was the norm, doesn't mean every Dunmer was for it.

    lol clearly you never played Morrowind.
    Every single Dunmer upon meeting you: "Sssscuuuuuuuum!"

    You clearly didn't play enough. You could join the Twin Lamps, some of whom were being led/helped by an underground railroad of sorts involving at leas one powerful DUNMER individual in Morrowind. You are right though that playing as an Argonian had its downsides, but even Argonians can become important in House Telvanni if they show enough power/merit.

    Why would her law-abiding Khajiit want to get inside the assassins' guild? She never said she talked to Elam Drals with that particular character.

    Yeah, my Breton Vampire is my assassin, the only character I did and will ever do the DB quest line with and the one who goes see Elam everyday. My Khajiit doesn't get anywhere close to the DB and TG guilds.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.
