Tips for choosing and refining results
Give each culture a consistent sound while keeping individual names distinct. A beautiful spelling is less useful if readers or players cannot comfortably say it aloud.
A useful shortlist balances sound, readability, and the setting in which a name will appear. Compare several possibilities rather than treating the first suggestion as a final answer. Read each one in a sentence, check how it looks beside other names in the project, and keep the combinations you can remember without looking back. Generated suggestions do not establish meaning, ancestry, uniqueness, or availability. You can adapt a spelling or combine an appealing sound with an idea of your own.
For a larger project, write down why each shortlisted name appeals to you. Notes about pronunciation, atmosphere, or the intended audience make it easier to return later and choose consistently across related characters, places, and ideas.
