I know what you're thinking from reading the title, "There are no rules for naming", and I know that there are no right or wrong ways or any rules/guides to follow when naming things, but I just thought it would be curious to hear what people would suggest to avoid when naming places, people and creatures.
I'm currently writing fantasy and I've named a fair few cities and people and places, usually just through scribbling random sounds in a notebook and manipulating words from other languages ect. I've seen so many people post on these forums that they have trouble with naming things, and so I was wondering what things should you avoid (In your opinion, remember there's no right or wrong way) when naming things.
