Character Naming
Many characters are named based upon their characteristics. If they are bold, deceitful, evil, intelligent, annoying, a wizard, etc. Once that is established, the word can be played with to make it sound better or easier to say (or less!). Examples:
wizard -> veiveseren -> veivesen
violent -> voldelig -> volde
annoying -> irriterende -> irrende
destroyer -> ødelegger -> ødeleg -> oudeleg
This can be used for family names, which can be easy if you simply determine a common literal thread of what that family has been historically, such as rich, miners, watchers of the stars, etc.
Is this language butchering? Yes. Does it sound pretty good? Yes. The biggest thing we’re looking for is a similar consistency with how we’re shorting/butchering, and, perhaps, from that something can be further developed into its own thing.
