Thunderdave wrote in Book 1 of the Next Series - Design Feedback Requested:General feedback: it took a fair bit of concentration to get through the 'fantasy' names of npcs, places, etc. Too many uncommon letter arrangements and multi-syllabic names make play unnecessarily complicated, in my opinion. It was a relief to get to Dragonstail Pass

Could you elaborate further, just so I'm sure what you mean? I do use a lot oflocation/people/god names from the Terra Minor World Guide (and All-in-One Guide from KS) - they are used in all my work as the general setting...

u2622 wrote in Book 1 of the Next Series - Design Feedback Requested:On the other hand, I love complex names! Disclaimer: I'm a language nerd, and have even worked on creating my own fantasy language specifically for consistent names. The names given as examples excite me, and make me feel like it's quite a different culture than the "common" language names. What I love the most though, are names that are consistent and have meaning. For instance, the -esh prefix could mean "son of", kind of like -ian/-yan in Armenian. You can see this well in Middle Earth with place names; Gondor and Mordor, for example.
