Trope Finder

None of those are "weird". That is, Real Life is plenty weird, and there are plenty of real life English examples for odd demonyms.

A four-year-old thread talks about making new demonyms, but otherwise I don't think we have a page on the concept. I think a Useful Notes page would be appropriate for this (it's not a narrative thing, but it is useful for creators).

Weird as in, for example, each Warhammer god uses a different suffix, or you'd expect Westerosians instead of Westerosi.

"You'd expect Westerosians instead of Westerosi", but the point is, it's not like "-i" is without precedence irl — it's "Somali" and "Bangladeshi" instead of "Somalian" and "Bangladeshian", for example. It's just that "-an" is overwhelmingly common; doesn't make it necessarily tropeworthy.

Do think Demonyms would make a good useful notes page, because there's a ton of them, a lot of factors go into which a place uses, and there's often no official consensus.

For instance, there's an eternal tongue-in-cheek debate over which to use for my hometown of La Grange, Texas- French name, originally settled primarily by Czech and German immigrants, located in the former Spanish territory, ends in an awkward phoneme, and slight vowel differences are a big deal in a Texan Accent.^note horse and hoarse are not synonyms in these parts.. Passionately defended stances include La Grangian(s), La Grangean(s)^note people will die on the hill of this being the superior spelling & pronunciation of the previous, La Grangeine(s)^note rhymes with jean(s), La Granger(s), La Grange(o/a)(s), La Grangite(s) (no e), La Grangeite(s) (with e)^note pronounced like there's a hyphen between 'e' and 'i', again a hill littered with martyrs, La Grangenite(s), La Grangeonian(s), and La Grangeonianite(s). The announcers for high school teams usually go with "the team/player from La Grange".
