Names for a fantasy world
 
Recently I had an idea for my own original fantasy quest story, which I am calling The Gemsinger Chronicles. I'm in the process of designing the world, but right now, I'd like to give my world a name before I really get into designing it.

So, what suggestions do you guys have for world names?

Well, at least don't use anything as old and used as "Agaria" or "Albion" or anything like that. I write a lot of fantasy-related stories, and I have no problems with making up names for the characters, but when it comes to naming the world, I usually draw to a blank. This one world I named "The Northern Continent" because I couldn't think of a proper name :laugh:

But I suggest you do this: pick a word, English or any other language, just something that suits your story. Then, modify the word a bit! Change some letters, maybe even some syllables, add something to the end or the beginning of the word or take something away... You can even fuse two words, preferably from different languages, to make a name. Give it a try!
And if you can't come up with any decent name on my method, it's not my fault :laugh:

Other than that, shouldn't this be in the "Other Writing"-section?

My current candidate I like most is Tharelia.
