@waterlily Yeah, you can kind of imagine how that town got its name.ย ๐ I made a couple of variations like Hestunk and Shestounk, but I liked Shestunk best.ย (I make so many, and I eliminate and delete until I have a small enough list to post here. ๐ )
I wonder who it was, exactly, that stunk so badly they gave the town a name like that?

@rochellaine Shestunk would definitely be a fun town to throw into any story. Maybe it’s a small town on the outskirts of a kingdom/country and one day the queen/other aristocratic female visited it and slipped in a pile of horse manure. Then the tale was so widely circulated among the country’s newspapers that everyone referred to the town as “where she stunk,” eventually shortened to Shestunk. Thus the town’s true name was lost to the ages.
@rochellaineย I like those! And yeah, Shestunk made me laugh, too ๐
I like Anlone and Telegon ๐
Ooooh, I should use some of these in the KPA………..
You can pronounce it however you want.
@waterlily That isย definitely what happened!ย I’m sure of it!ย ๐ Oh, you made me laugh so hard when I read it.

@rochellaine cool ๐ My favorite is probably Jarren Saree
Since these are all made up how do you decide whether its a girls name or a boys name? I’m curious.and I was so confused
@notawriter Well, I have a little side hobby of studying language.ย Not, you know, parts of speech or anything, but sounds, and – um – I don’t really know how to describe it.ย Like, for example, you can make a name sound like it came from the Saxon era in England if you use “ae,” “th,” “dl,” or a couple of other common combinations of letters in names from that period and place.ย Or take Klingon from Star Trek.ย They are a fictional race from a sci-fi universe, but the culture is based on Middle Eastern culture, so the inventors of the Klingon language used a lot of the harsh “kh” sounds which to most Westerners are hard to pronounce.
So, I’ve separated the girls and boys names by whether they would sound feminine or masculine to an “American” speaking person, as most of us here are.ย I believe those from Australia would have a similar taste in naming, though I know Britain has small changes, so I’m not completely certain about Australia. ๐
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@notawriter Oh, if you want to have specific guidelines, most girls names will end in vowels, and most boys in consonants.ย (This is not a strict rule, but like the “i before e” rule – lots of exceptions.) ๐

I study Latin, and I love how some Latin words are just begging to be a name. So here are a few with their meanings:
Doloris~ greif, pain
Gratia~ grace, favor, thanks
Ira~ anger
Maris~ sea
Valeo~ to be well
If you need more let me know!

http://www.encircledbygrace.com/@rochellaine Wow that’s so neat! ๐ Thanks for taking the time to answer. ^-^
@kaya-young cool! I like Valeo a lot ๐and I was so confused
@kaya-young I’ve used words from other languages a couple of times as names.ย I think @skredder actually got her(?) username by searching for the meaning of her name in another language.ย I like the ones you chose.ย I really dislike the Spanish name Dolores which means something like “Tears of the Virgin Mary” but your twist to the original in Latin spelled with an “i” actually looks pretty.
