Good Day to you fair traveler!
What are we doing you ask? We are trying to give our new home a name! Even though all we know of the world at the moment is The WyldeWood and areas surrounding it, there is much more to this land. You want to help? Fabulous!

Start out by making sure you take some time to read
The Story
and take some time perusing
The Map
If you have already spent time doing these things, maybe just skim through them as a refresher.

Once you have an idea of the the feel of the world, go ahead and try to name it!
If your name is chosen, a very special Uni will find their way to you!

Good Luck!
~Gloria Wylde~




~Rules~
Anyone can enter. Even if you don't already have a Uni.
You may post as many names as you like
You must post only the name and give a reason why it is a good one and should be chosen
All questions should be asked in the main thread or through pm to Berry
I ONLY want to see entries posted in here.
Winner will receive a free full custom Uni. This does not include Cosplays!
How this will works is there are two phases. The posting phase and the voting phase.
First everyone will post names until we pick a preferred one. The preferred name will be posted below and people will have three days to try to better it. If a new preferred name is chosen, the process begins again.
Every preferred name will be held onto until the final one doesn't get bettered.
Then I will put the list into a poll on this page so everyone has a chance to vote on the one they like best.
I want to encourage discussion about your favorite names in the main thread. If a name is really popular it may be put into the preferred list on principal.
Starts: Now (8/30)
Ends: When a final name is chosen


For those who would like to see it, a form.

Name: Gerda
Why it fits our world: The name means the protective one, and as this world was meant to be a haven for all magical creatures, I felt it fits.

Name: Orenda
Why it fits our world: It means magic power in the Iroquois Indian language. Since the world is made up of magic creatures, it's a good name.

Name: Haven
Why it fits our world: It's very simple, but it describes very well what the world was created for in the first place. It could be an evolution sort of thing, where people spoke about "the haven world" that was created, and the name eventually became official.

Name: Alfirin Dôr
Why it fits our world: The name means Immortal Land in Elvish.
Being the land is full of magic and unicorns, we all know that magic is immortal as are unicorns and where ever they may be the land will forever be Immortal.

Name: En'Rhihan
Why it fits our world: Because it sounds pretty and wild-ish?

Name: Fantasia
Why it fits our world: Taken from the book Neverending Story. Fantasia was a symbol of all man's hopes, dreams, and imaginations. Fantasia was being destroyed at one point by a "nothingness" where those dreams were turning into man's lies. I see this as similar to the storyline here, and so the name holds a warning to not let something similar happen to this world that happened at Earth. *And* it sounds very pretty/magical.

Because I found a name I like I figured I'd add it to the list. If my name wins, the runner-up gets the custom.

Name: Crystalania
Why it fits our world: Because the name of crystal brings to mind a shining thing that has the possibility of being multicolored. Like our world and its inhabitants.
Sounds similar to Castlevania.
It's actually the name of one of my WoW characters. redface Not intentionally the same though lol.
