Names for Everway

In the Everway RPG, characters have meaningful names. Such names are made of words, not just sounds. Coming up with a good name on the spur of the moment can be tough, so, when Sarah and I were prepping our 2-GM Everway campaign a couple years ago, one thing we did was generate a brainstorm list of possible NPC names. We were free to claim names off the list as need be, and would note that we'd done so by writing the name of the characters home-realm in parenthesis after their name. Here's the list as the digital version exists (there was a hardcopy in our binder that probably had a lot more place names, but I'm having trouble finding it). A few of the names are goofy as heck, perfect for light-hearted/throw-away NPCs.

Some of these were from a list of members of the Order of the Eternal Rose known to the PCs. When players joined the game in progress, we handed them that list and made them choose a name from the list.
