BETA READERS FROM DISTANT LANDS; ICONAR COLLECTIVE PEEPS OF OLD
YOU HAVE BEEN SUMMONED HERE TO HELP ME COME UP WITH MORE NAMES
I'm renaming Lacy
Yup. I'm gonna. There are several reasons why, but the only one you guys need to know is that it's just way too real-world-y. An argument could be made that Corrin and Dain are also real-world names, but they're main characters so screw that.
I've already reworked several so far. Those of you unfortunate enough to have read my earlier drafts of the story might remember Tara, Veronica, and Minshyl; the girls have become Terume and Vaiccia respectively, and while I've removed Minshyl's original character I intend to replace Tristan (another OG) with him.
All suggestions are welcome, though I'd like to keep the option of calling her "Lace" as a nickname. Some examples could be:
- Leceru (Leh - cheh - hru), Lezeru, Lesheru
- Lek'yaa (Leh - k'yay)
- Zahleff (Jah - leh - fu), Zahlesh, Zahlezh
- L'ahyai (L'ah - yai)
You don't have to refer to my super epic phonetic system to come up with an idea. Just plop down whatever pops into your head, and I'll port the ones I like to... whatever this language is supposed to be called. I've been having way too much fun rewriting names in this system.
SpoilerCorrin: Ku - ru - ne
Aurora: Yah - ru - eh
Garnell: G'ah - ru - ne
Dain: D'yai - n'
Iolar: Ai - yo - leh - ru
Quarden: K'ur - duh - ne
Gliece: Guh - leh - sch
Diseri: D'eh - shu - ru
Mareth: Meh - ru'f
Jerne: Zeh - ru - ne
Quille: K'ru - leh
Fadran: F'eh - duh - ru'n

I loved all the suggestions but the more I tried to fit them, the more I just accidentally came back to Leceru
so that's what she's called now
