If it is sort of like two real life places or it represents two themes or something then it may be a good idea to mash two words together, (some random example: mars and earth could become marth or something) Or there is always the endings you can use such as 'ia' or 'land' which can be used with maybe an adjective or even just a random word, eg, Greenia could probably be changed slightly to become Grenia. Or you could even pay tribute to someone or other by naming it after them. eg Tolkiath or Lewisa (see what I did there?) Or you could even try just putting a placeholder name for now and maybe it will come to you as you are writing, maybe in the form of a spelling mistake, that's how I make up names. Hope that helps, I didn't want to just outright give you a name, but I hope that will help you to come up with one.

The bane of all fantasy writers. How about..Afrisius, Afrius, Agovas, Albus, Amibias, Anglymnur, Anitrana, Antas, Arciatium, Asilius, Asisur, Atluron, Austrerur, Ceylianon, Dalanona, Danerna, Engetias, Engul, Eritium, Eronene, Escia, Esparctum, Espor, Espynias, Espynova, Etharcova, Ethica, Eulygeos, Euphunona, Ibivea, Induaneos, Itennum, Lithurius, Lucarcaea, Manchosor, Marsentia, Mirardana, Myrovana, Myruarium, Noratova, Rhodygova, Senzanea, Sparavias, Swentea, Terrennia, Tunovis, Utarum, Utya, Virantand or Xanalius? http://nine.frenchboys.net/country.php Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:52:59 +0000 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/adventure/threads/50163?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1159214 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/adventure/threads/50163?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1159214 mle160 How about Alphida? or Intuit?' These are just some ideas, i agree with jordan.williams42 that the world that you plan to use as your setting (or partial setting) should have some meaningful backround. For example, in I am Number Four John's home planet is called Lorien because of the first Loric who settled there; Pitticus Lore.
