Hey everyone,

I’ve recently started world-building for my fantasy novel and I’m struggling a bit with coming up with authentic names. I want names that feel immersive and memorable, but I don’t want them to sound forced or too common.

I’ve read about using linguistic patterns, cultural inspirations, or even random generators, but I’m curious about what works best in practice. How do you approach generating Fantasy Names that feel original yet believable? Any resources, techniques, or personal tricks you use would be really helpful.

I’m looking forward to your suggestions!
