Alright, so N:Era has some... unique names.
Cyras, Ahmond, Rosod, and Lilu.
How are those names found?
Every name is a corruption of "nature", so there's no, or at least, very little, straight up human names.
Rosod = Rose.
Lilu = Lily.
Cyras = ?
Ahmond = Almond.
Vanos = Vanilla.
Kyofi = Coffee.
Mosor = Moose (like moose track's ice cream).
With the Ice Cream Pack, a lot of the names are just toppings or types of ice creams. Vanilla, moose tracks, coffee (yes I've had coffee ice cream before, lol).
For Crimsons, the name relates to the color red in some way.
For Violets, the name relates to purple in some way.
For Oranges, the name will probably relate to something orange or yellow in some way.
Dires have the most varied of names by far, so I usually try not to name them after their color.
"What about more obscure names like Wasting?"
Ah yes. Wasting and Swillow's names were actually Swyllow and Wayping originally. Then I edited the names, and that became Swullow. Until eventually, Swillow and Wasting. Swillow and Wasting were named after a Weeping Willow tree.
Cyras and Owlis, the Ascended's, actually got human names. Owlis is pronounced as "alice", but I put Owl in front to make the nature name. Cyras is Kyra's (like, someone named Kyra possesses something). Ryvoh is from River. Kryyk is from creek.
Cyras' name origin is actually a slight mystery to me. I think I may have used Cryo. However, the issue is that Cryo was Greecian, not English. I think her name was actually Cryas for a few days. Until, just swapped a letter and got Cyras, or "Cure us" as Jazmyn says.
Jazmyn is named after "jasmine".
Karv is a weird name, "carve". This is actually a holdover from the original Dire naming patterns. Originally Jackals were named after other animals like Scoril being squirrel. Wolves had names like Valkiral and Valtys (don't even ask I cannot remember ever. I think Valkiral was based on the name Akira, as I see that associated with wolves a lot). Hyenas meanwhile were gonna be split after a war, from much more kinder names with warrior's names. The Warrior's names were more "Thrashost". The Kinder names were "Rilic" (relic).
The hyenas are the only ones left with names like Slasher however.
Skyless have their own naming system.
Finally, Dragons have names after intangible thoughts. Knowledge, Despair, Silence.
Some other naming patterns I might experiment with: Compound names, such as Goldfish.
Some names are from different languages depending on the region, like Chesniy names will be based on Russian words. Like Ahmond's full name is Ahmond Freezer—Shoklod to represent the Russian part of her name and heritage.
(Kie's Note: Shoklod is a corruption of Shokolad. Russian for Chocolate.)
