I've tried to write settings over the years, but I can never get very far with them before I become bored.  However, I have managed to come up with a bunch of good names by doing this, and rather than let them rot I've decided to post them here so it's at least possible that they might be put to use.  Feel free to shamelessly steal them.  :D

I've gotten nearly 99 views.  Has anyone made use of these names who'd like to talk about it?

Hibou

I haven't used any of these, but some of them in the first list sound very similar to some names I've got lurking around in my head for my setting.

Perhaps you could use these names to develop some sort of hybrid? I gather there's a fair amount of variety in their origins; perhaps you could do so and just work on what interests you when it interests you?

With some exceptions in the Place Names category, im not really sure why you decided to categorize the name. The way I see it, you could just as easily have the Karic Mines, as you could have Karic Axeswinger. Hell, you could probably even have both.

Quote from: Sdragon1984'¦im not really sure why you decided to categorize the name.
How they were used in the original documents.

Truthfully when I posted these I felt that they were just going to waste because I wasn't designing anything and couldn't see myself doing so for some time.  If they help someone else then at least the time I spent on them wasn't a waste.
