I have added a chart of Gerudo name-suffixes, royal titles, and names of family members. The name suffixes and royal titles use given names. To note: No one calls themselves "Sílvia-lati" (Queen Silvia) or "Naburu-ehxa", rather someone else will address or refer to them by their respective names/titles.
