That's actually a thing I need. Guys, what's the algorithm for coming up with European-sounding names a la Infinite Stratos/Nasuverse, etc?

>>144297797
That name suit you anon.

Eastern or Western European names?

Don't ask for north ones, that shit is just random letters mashed together with abundant non English alphabet characters thrown every 5th character.

Shit like Luviagelta Edelfelt or Julis-Alexia von Riessfeld.

See, I am writing a /tg/-ish FATE-based game for /a/ (which, coincidentally, I am falling rather back on delivering, but a slightly autistic desire for it to look nice coupled with IRL troubles (a death in the family) are my defence on that front), and for it I need authentic NPC names. Now I could just go with obscure real life names from similar European cultures, but that would just not be the same. And trying to mash up led me to unsatisfying results. So "how the fuck do they do it for it to sound authentic and phonetically pleasing" is a valid question for me.

As for whether Western or Eastern? Western takes priority , but really - both .

IIRC, you can found books with lots of names and their meanings in any bookstore anon.

I'm more concerned about the anti-christ chivalric orders or whatever.

Take Western name -> mangle it into Japanese.

When asked to license to a Western company insist on mangled transliteration of name.

God forbid you consider the original source name.
