I’m currently world-building for a new novel and am having trouble coming up with authentic and memorable character names. I want something that feels immersive and unique, but most of the names I try either sound too generic or clash with the culture I’m designing.
I’ve been researching various naming conventions and even using name generators, but I’d love advice from experienced writers. Specifically, how do you create Fantasy Names that feel natural yet imaginative? Are there tips, patterns, or resources you recommend to make names resonate with readers?
