How much do you care about names? I only know 'Baltic' and only as a native, not as a scholar, but there's a flurry of interesting issues, from technical in how our alphabeth is slightly different from an English one, or how some of the names are actually french or german or greek or slavic or etc., or questions of identity - some of these names are baltic versions of common latin names, i.e., ones that (pseudo-)christians would have, whereas others are in fact names of pagan gods or goddesses, which would likely be a big deal at the period the game is set in.
