      That is a lot of ‘r’s…I love the Caramin, but I think you could go without one of those ‘r’s in Orrr.

        Ganadir sounds cool. Really though, you know your own world the best, so if anything really jumps out at you, that’s probably the right name.

          I like all the names you came up with! I’d have to say, though, that I like Ganadir and Caramin the best, but that’s just my opinion. It’s really up to you. 🙂 😉

            Thank you all!!☺️ I’m currently planning on Ganadir as the “world” most likely, with a possibility of the other two being forests or countries:). Again, thanks! ??

                Orrr Caramin looks cool…especially is someone could trill the ‘r’s out. I envision a world on the more solid, slightly epic side. The only thing that gives me pause is that Caramin sounds like Carman, which is the name of a Christian singer.

                  I like Caramin and Viliden.

                  Caramin makes me think of the colour carmine. Or rather the word. I’m not actually sure what colour it is.

                  And I just have a love for name beginning with ‘V’. I don’t know why, but I’ve got several in my own writing.

                    @aella One thing to do is purchase a baby name book or use a baby naming app. I have discovered patterns through researching names. For instance, the suffix “win” means “friend” in English. “Geir” means “spear,” “bjorn” means “bear,” “olf” means “wolf,” etc. So you can combine things like that. For instance, I have a character named Garawyn, which came from Geir + wyn= friend with a spear. Another character is named Wynolf, which is wyn + olf = friendly wolf. If you have a particular meaning in mind you can use this method. Or, you can always take a normal name and stick a y where there’s usually an i.
