Are these names at least somewhat realistic?

 

CupofJoe Yeah, I don't think there is so much diversity in place names in my world. I was asking more about how names are created - for example, city of Split in Croatia basically got a name from Aquae Sulis Palatium - A.S.Palatium - Aspalatium - Spalatium - Split. I tried to emulate that process to an extent, albeit within a language for the most part... however, I do feel that I may need to adapt Celtic-basis names to Latin.
