Try putting this in arts &literature...you may be more likely to get answers there.

[Tilly2]

That's a very long list. Surely one of them will do?

[Canary42]

Cloudalbatrossland

[Ken4155]

Wouldn't using Brobdingnagian leave you open to claims of plagiarism?

[Tilly2]

You need to make one up, not use common or garden words.

[DTCwordfan]

How about 'Ab Editor'?

[ukbod2015]

Terpsichorea, Dulcinea, Tyrionacia, Confundus

[jourdain2]

The ones you've come up with have reflections with either real words or well-known invented words. You'd be better coming up with something like (closes eyes and hits keyboard) tjhwsleoing. That's what hapenned!

OK =- how about derivates as a name - as in originating from, but different? I'm trying :) x

[Tilly2]

How about vampkatlex?

Peaspeculiars - now there's a name you haven't heard in a book before..., you can use mine if you like ;-)

Why not try a bit of research on ancient names and play around with how they are spelt/ sound. look at Game of Thrones - some of the names on there are very unusual.
If you specifically want them to sound 'space age' in the setting you are writing about - try to imagine what you would be called if you yourself lived there and looked around... you see someone you know in the distance... who is it? Ah yes, it's '..........'
Or, read labels - sounds daft, but there are some really great ingredients, spices and additive names that you can play around with.
Go on google earth and find unusual sounding towns in the med - mix them up a bit and change the syllables to suit and hey presto

My favourite from your list is: Moiety

[Tilly2]

Peas, you are so clever, patient and kind. I wish I was more like you. x

[Prudie]

Lots of those are real words?? Do you want real words?

[Peaspeculiars]

Yo Tilly, it's because the caffeine has worn off now ;-) x

Vampkatlex, take a peek at this....

Brindisi
Matera
Melfi
Troia
Rodi
Sessa
- all sound familiar? They're all Italian towns, but you can mix them up a bit and get new names as an example:
Brindias
Matellera
Elfam
Troat
Rodinia
Sessam

:-) I like this OP

[B00]

If they're gonna appear in a book, those names will make it awfully hard for the reader to...well, read!

When I played World of Warcraft I used to use sites like this for names, would this be any use to you?

something short and simple or the reader gets confused......minty !!

Martin Amis had a chap called Lorne Guyland in one of his books. It was how Americans pronounced Long Island. So do as Peaspeculiar suggests, mess round with place names.

[atalanta]

get a telephone book. Take a page at random, take the first syllable of the first surname on that page, and add it to the first syllable of a surname from some other page. You'll soon come up with some bizarre enough names.

or do it with AM members' names
