LH1407 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 What is your favourite Cosmere name? Personally I am a big fan of Shashara. In fact, thinking about it, I really like a lot of the WarBreaker names. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truthweaver Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 I really like the name Shallan, I think the sound and the look of it is pretty. I even like it enough to (maybe) give it to my future daughter, but then inevitably I would have to explain where it came from and who her namesake was. That would be a bit of an awkward conversation... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a bit of an awkward conversation... It's going to get doubly awkward when she finds out what the original Shallan did to her parents... Answering the question, I like all the Kholin names, but especially Renarin and Adolin. They're very melodic. I also like Jasnah, because in Polish, "jasna" means "bright" (feminine form of the word, no less), and if it's a coincidence, it's hilarious. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LH1407 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 I like the look of Dalinar on paper but not the actual pronunciation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecily D Aria Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I've always been a fan of Raoden, even when I found out the correct pronunciation and didn't like it as much as my wrong way of saying it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolaDavar Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Kaladin, and Dalinar have always been personal favorites of mine, but overall Raoden and Kelsier are my favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesh Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I like the name Vin. It's simple and it just feels like her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borio Singaldi Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 My favorite has got to be Numuhukumakiaki'aialunamor. It's especially fun to say once you memorize it. I even had Siri call me by that name on my phone for a while, but she could never pronounce it right. My other favorites are Taravangian, Waxillium, Cephandrius Maxtori, and Hrathen. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meannadarie Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 My brain latched on to the word/name Parshendi. For weeks, if I ever stopped thinking or tried to sleep, that word just rolled around in my head. It was annoying, but I realized that I really did like the word. It rolls off the tongue in a fun way. Other than that, Jasnah is my favorite name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Numuhukumakiaki'aialunamor. Kaladin, Bavadin, Kelsier, Edgard, Hoid, Axies, Elhokar, Zahel and Shallan are great too. Edited June 19, 2017 by Chull #445 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erandeni Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Elend, I really like how the e sound in names, and Elend has two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnsworth Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Nazrilof for sure. Since he's from Threnody, he's probably got a really Puritan first name, and his last name sounds kind of Russian, and the combination of the two sounds super awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botanica Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Gavilar. It just sounds right to me. Also Cephandrius, what a cool name! As for location name, it has to be Urithiru! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storming Radiant Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I really liked Lunu'anaki, Pattern (who would've thought that will make a great name?) Shai, and Waxillium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting! but in old Persian, Jasnah (if pronounced as yasnah) means worshiping or prayers! which is completely contradictory to her character! And also my favorite name is Cephandrius because of the way it sounds! it also sounds suitable for the character!

Eluvianii Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I always liked Sarene. Also Szeth which I love because it sounds sharp, like a dagger or something. There's also Kaise, Siri, Vin, Kelsier, Shallan, Jasnah, Kaladin, I like a lot of names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was going to go with one of the Warbreaker names, but Hrathen is pretty hard to beat. Also, Szeth Son-Son-Vallano. Such a cool name- both the name itself and the naming structure.

firstmurf Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Really love the family names of Davar and Kholin. They sound very regal and just feel right for a powerful family. Sylphrena is my favourite name. Shortened to Syl and it’s perfect. It’s also my cars name. Nissan S13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
