HelpRe: Opinion on made up names?
in reply to a message by kayisforkeen
I often like them, especially when I think they could pass for traditional names that I just haven't ever heard of before.
If they have trendy-seeming elements I tend not to like them so much.
Some outdated trendy-seeming invention-seeming names, seem less bad to me - so maybe someday I'll feel the same about Everleigh and Kylen as I do about Ferlene and Lillard. Like, they're quaint and interesting?
Mostly I just either like or dislike invented names for the same reasons I like and dislike traditional names - according to whether I like how they look and sound, and other associations I might have.
I don't find literary inventions any more or less appealing than I do other inventions.
