sorry :(
anywho-I love most fantasy names-they're all so cleverly though up-and all have meanings behind them-I would love to be able to have a name where it actually MEANT something..mine doesn't ...:(

unless the author makes their own language most character names are similar to real ones. e.g one letter different or slightly re-arranged

yeah well i didn't read that lol

then there's the weird titles, i find titles and pompously long place names very annoying. Place names should be oneword jobs

If I was a bard..I would scrap school education, and everyone would be born with the knowlege they would have gained from school.:cool:

I like some long place names, it depends. But I don't like it when an author takes a name that would be great for a fantasy city and then makes it the name of a person. (e.g. "Alosha")
