If you want a name that feels like it belongs on a prophecy scroll, lean mythic. If you want something softer but still enchanted, go nature or celestial. Either way, say the top five out loud and imagine calling them across a room. The right fantasy name has a tiny spark when you do that.
Juna Ellis is a writer and name enthusiast with a background in literature who's been collecting unusual names in notebooks for years. She approaches naming as both a linguistic puzzle and an art form, treating names as sounds, stories, and tiny pieces of personality. When she's not writing for Names Palette, she's probably reading etymology blogs or convincing friends their pets need Greek mythology names.
