  • Salamat po :). 

  • @mrsmodest walang anuman lol

  • Great advice! Thank you so much!

    BTW I love your accent. Its really cute!

  • @LolitaHazeCI

    no problem, glad u like the accent :O)

  • Nice video. Another way to find exotic names is to spell words backwards, scramble the sequence of letters or a mix. Apart from just names of islands or places, you can take foreign words and play around with them. For example, Yoda from Star Wars is inspired from the Sanskrit word yuddha - or warrior.

  • oh i didnt know that about the name yoda coming from sandskrit, good tip!

  • Good ideas. I'm struggling with names for my Sci Fi

  • Great advice!

    I like using an English to Latin translator. Finding an English word that is relevant to the character and translating it to Latin. That often results in a very unique sounding name :-)

    I.S.

  • Awesome program for name generating! THANK YOU!

  • oh is it? oh ok, maybe i will be fine leaving my character Yayo then after all, cheers for ur comments my friend
