The name thread

Here is a thread for if you have the idea of a cool-sounding name, be it for an existing thing in Felarya, or something that could exist in the future ^^
Sometimes finding names can be a bit of a frustrating affair..

I sometimes use this site : http://www.seventhsanctum.com/index-name.php but it's not always satisfactory

So if you have the idea of a name for a lost temple, a Volcano, a mysterious mineral or an ancient forgotten god or whatever, go for it

I could give you some names I've written down on my workbook...

Etisar - anagram of Reşiţa, an industrial center in Romania
Shin - 21st letter in Semitic alphabets, or Japanese for "new"
Viaroac - anagran of Craiova, another industrial center of Romania
Kazan - "cazan" is Romanian for "furnace"
Kuril/Koril
Thrayil
Syr
Venepol - portmanteau of "Venice" and "Constantinopol"
Nurre
Karatad
Aderas
Kurir
Khalim
Tarastal

I came up with them while working on Anteal. Coming up with a good name is hard for me, as I filled only one page in one or two years. Use these if you like.
Also, http://www.behindthename.com/ is a good place for finding names and their meanings. After all names are supposed to have meaning.

i was told this site by Gwadahunter2222: http://www.rinkworks.com/namegen/

EDIT: sorry it was Gwadahunter2222, not malahite that showed it to me... My bad T_T'

EDIT: same as above.

I usually just mash the keyboard, then add a few cool-sounding letters to it.

Examples:

Aweerin
Yieoln
Veijik
Slwaio
Wirijik
Okeilia

I'm not good with the names... which is why a third of Uno Team is referred to in my head by funny nicknames... and the Half I DO remember HAVE funny/Ironic names to begin with...

That being said... I'm not a big fan of using Fancy and Ancient Sounding Names... probably because I don't think up a lot of Fancy and Ancient things that would have language to name stuff with...

A lot of my characters have puns for names.

Raison and D'etre
Reason for Existance/Being/Etc *yes, D'etre isn't spelled right, I know*
The surname of Nihil, yeah
Memento Mori, the most ironic name in all of Felarya.
Screw for his 'screwed up' personality
Marian was named something because I truthfully wanted to inspire a sort of image of Mary for some reason that is totally not plot related at all and why are you looking at me that way?

I just stick to puns or unlikely names. Makes things fun.

How about...

"Ahhh!"pple? i mean really now a fruit that strike fear into a grown man, how awesome can it not be?
