Hi everyone,
I’ve recently started world-building for my fantasy novel and keep struggling with naming my characters and places. I want names that feel original, memorable, and immersive, but I keep falling into generic or overused patterns.
I’ve read guides and lists, but they don’t always capture the vibe I’m looking for. Does anyone have strategies for generating compelling Fantasy Names that fit different cultures or species within a story?
Are there tools, linguistic techniques, or exercises you recommend to make names feel natural yet unique? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
