As for the names I have a whole (overly complicated system). Basically each language in my world is a mix between multiple real world dead languages. I use chatgpt or open assistant (ik that using ai in worldbuilding is controversial but all the names are still mine) to generate words in the dead languages then smash them together. Sometimes i’ll have a word or phrase that I have it translate and then combine and shrink until it’s one word. To me, this is easier than conlanging but still original and fun.

    I’m pretty terrible coming up with names. The names that I do come up with an end up sticking with are either extremely blunt descriptions turned into proper names, or are references that like too much to abandon.
