Meela has just left Hobbiton.

I literally just discovered this second that twisting ordinary names actually creates some pretty good fantasy names. In my opinion, anyhow.

Eg. Craig is now Craigan. Much more fantasy-ish. (is there a word for that? Fantasy-ish, i mean? Like, do you actually say fantastical? Its much more fantastical?)

And Craigan's going in my book [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] So thank you to Elvanui for asking how you come up with fantasy names, thats actually helped me tremendously!
