  There was an airport-novel series about a future where people's surnames are the company they work for. It was called Jennifer Government. Some of the characters in Death Stranding, namely the main one, have a given-name, profession, employer convention -- as in Sam Porter Bridges.

    Ahhh, reminding me of Nation-States too. What a curious little website / online community.

    Death strandings naming is not too far from very common naming conventions throughout history, it's a nicely subtle touch. Glenn Miller, Gregory Porter and Sam Smith just happen to have been more inclined to make music.

    And in the far future of that future surnames like Government or PepsiCo or Alcoa will be as common as Smith, Fletcher, and Miller.
