I¡¯m starting this thread to talk about
real fantasy names the kind that feel magical but still believable. I¡¯m especially interested in names that sound natural, have clear pronunciation, and could realistically belong to characters in novels, games, or tabletop campaigns.
Do you prefer fantasy names inspired by mythology, old languages, or nature? What makes a name feel real to you rather than random? Feel free to share your favorite examples, tips for creating them, or resources you use when naming characters. I¡¯d love to hear different perspectives and ideas from fellow writers and worldbuilders.
