Sort of following on from my map thread, seeing all the different place names - when world building how do you come up with place names?
Also how do you come up with names for other things? Characters, creatures etc.
I can’t help but think of Tolkien and how he was influenced by ‘Englishness’ and can’t help but feel the same way in that I’m inspired by the landscape around me, the culture, the history, and the general culture of Northern Europe. I want my world to make sense and be cohesive, but also be fantasy.
