How to Come Up with Fantasy Character Names

Time for another How To. This time, I’m sharing some tips for stimulating that imagination when it comes to fantasy character names. In this episode I go through a few methods for generating ideas for names, and a few rules I try to follow to get the right name for the right fantasy character.

Things such as:

– Originality
– Pronounceability
– Using maps
– Google Translate
– and the ultimate Keyboard Mashing Technique.

Enjoy.
