What is your opinion on these names?

Nah, I don’t care much for name origin. I would just laugh if off then forget all about it. Names are names, what’s the big deal about it?

And also I’m horrible at geography if you know what I mean ~

Well, as someone who likes fantasy and sci fi fiction and games, I kind of like made up names.

Some of them are traditional names: Anina, Ada, Arad, Kalan, Mako and Darda.

Dal could be short for some traditional names. Perast is almost Perastu, a Persian name.

I might believe that Drobeta, Turnu, Grumshi, Bataseck, and Friyeza are all real surnames somewhere. I haven’t looked them up.

So, yeah, they are names, even if they aren’t typical for the USA. Suspicion might come up though if the origin of the name doesn’t seem to match the face or the other names. Mako is Japanese but Anina is European, so Anina Mako is a problem, also because Mako is a given name not a surname.

If someone’s name is Baltimor I’m going to suspect they are some combination of creative, insensitive (to the kid), and/or foolish / poorly educated, and almost certainly American.

Belfast Bonn sounds like they had crazy Irish & German parents, or maybe more likely wealthy Americans who weren’t sure where the kid was conceived, or they were conceived in Ireland and born in Bonn, AND their parents were silly / foolish.

For fictional characters, I’d want the joke and characterization to make sense or I’d likely think they weren’t very well named by the author (or by the fictional parents).

^ Interesting how you interpreted the names. Anina is a city in Romania, and Mako is a city in Hungary, though.

I think names are fascinating, and your combinations are lovely. All of them. What a great way to devise them! I have known people who were named after places, but nothing like these of yours. And they don’t have that phony made-up SFF feel to them, like all those names with excesses of K’s and TH’s and meaningless decorative apostrophes.

^ Gee, thanks. I only used what already exists. :)

Maybe I’d use some of these names if I ever write something.

Lots of places were named from people names, so, not weird at all. Lots of American names are just flat made up.
How about I try, making names from places in the US?
Annapolis Topeka
Kansas Bismark
Montana Decatur
Peoria Norfolk
Boston Ottumwa
Flint Carthage

^Aye, that sounds great! I love the first one the most.

I had a dog named Tallahassee. We used to call him Tally. He was from Tallahassee, FL…

These made up names sound great and are very plausible. Ada Kalan in particular I am sure must be as real person. There are some great Scottish place names that give the following:

Appin Edzell
Uig Torvaig
Clova Carmyllie
Arinagour Pitairlie
Iona Carradale
