The silliness of naming characters

The amusement over what to name characters in the trendy fantasmal worlds of "other galaxies" and "other times" is enough to make me want to ROTGDMFFALMAO.

Why use ordinary English to describe everything that's going on in the story, including dialogue, and resort to naming the characters Deslaharma or Zeanderlal ... and of course, all of them in the Land of Frothinotina. Having a world with consecutive 'a' sounds is always fun, as in Miaamiaa or Flaaridaa.

Cheesh, why not just call them Saam and Ellaa?

If you intend to invent a world, invent a world. Don't just use the same one from your video game and invent some new names. If you can't invent a language, why bother? If you invent a language that has no grammar rules, no conjugations and no continuity,



Maybe just stop fucking around with it?
