This name was chosen after the CEO Swen Vincke's dog, Gustav, and was later shortened to Tav as the default name for custom player characters. The name Gustav might be more familiar to modders who delve deep into the game files, but there are also Easter eggs in the game that mention the name.Jan 10, 2024

I don't see the problem? Pick a random fantasy novel - chances are you'll find lots and lots of names that work for the fantasy(!) world, but not at all in real life.

BTW, all those "Gustav" folders in the game's directory structure, those are named after Sven's dog also.

Ok, but "Tav" is simply awkward. Gimli and Legolas are dumb names too so maybe I should just laugh at the weird name...

As was mentioned before it was a dog´s name.

i already quoted the reason but y'all keep arguing

[Exarch_Alpha]

No one is arguing anymore, just talking about silly names

While Tav comes from Gustav, the CEO's cat, Tav itself is a hebrew name meaning Music Note/Tone. Perfectly normal hebrew name.

According to Google "Tav" is also an actual name in Hebrew.

Unisex and means "musical note". Wild.

Tav is the 22nd and final letter of the Hebrew alphabet - if you transliterate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taw

In Phoenician or Greek it would be "tau". Often represented by a cross.

As a word, it can mean more than just a musical note. It refers to a mark, a sign, or a signature.

It has been great inspiration for naming my characters.

Welcome to a specific fictional setting where our IRL perceptions of society have much less overlap with the setting.
