Venucci first and middle names tend to be based on more extravagant English names or Italian or French names.

Examples: Guinevere, Percival, Giacomo, Chiara, Jean, Odette.

Venucci children have no surnames until they reach adulthood. Venucci who join a House use the name of their House as their surname, while those that don't join a house, or who are ejected from a House, choose a surname for themselves that they believe describes them. It's not uncommon for people to choose the surname of a parent or other person who taught them if they believe it also describes them. Some who join Houses after adulthood retain their chosen surname as a middle name.

Houses are either named after a significant figure in their formation, or a shared concept they hold as important.

  • Chosen Surname Examples: Fierce, Ingenious, Vengeful.
  • House Name Examples: Valjean, de Marco, d'Acier.
