Wow this took me back. I played Myst on my desktop when it first came out! 🙈 Fantastic guide to names and languages.

I still have Myst on my Ipad. Works better there than on the old 386.

A lot of great advice. I do agree that picking the names with as much love and attention to their inner core is the best thing you could do.

I wrote code to spit out hundreds of random letters using some basic rules. I then scanned pages and pages of output, chose the random ones I liked, and that’s how I named my Tranith Argan characters.

I use Esperanto in my science fiction and the roots and rules for Native American languages for my fantasy languages (goblin specifically)

Esperanto just makes me think of Red Dwarf where Rimmer was always trying to learn the language and kept failing over and over
