Naming places and people in a Fantasy world can be a hard boring chore for some while the funnest part of world building for others. My question has to do with these names. Some writers name places using languages of their own creation while others use English names (i.e. 'Minas Tirith' from Lord of the Rings in contrast with 'Kings Landing' from A Song of Ice and Fire)
I know that most writers will use both English and names in their own languages but here I'm asking which you lean more towards.
So tell me, do you prefer naming things in English (or whatever language you are writing in) or in another language? Also I'd love to hear some comments on this.
I'm very interested to see the results.
