Hey!! I totally get this frustration. Coming up with names that aren’t cheesy are hard. I have a few tips that I’ve discovered writing my fantasy. I’m sure there’s more and better ones but these are just what I’ve found work for me:

First, don’t feel like you have to have a permanent name right away! Call it anything you want to begin with. The pressure of feeling like you have to have the perfect name from the start makes everything ten times harder.

And second, I’ll give you the steps I use for world naming.

1. Decide which theme you are wanting for your world. If you have this terrible, frightening world over run by monsters you probably want a scarier or at least serious sounding name. For instance, you wouldn’t want to call it Flowerland

2. After I figure out a theme, I think of random words that go with that theme and write them down. (seeing the words makes it easier)

3. Then, I seriously just scramble them and walk around my room talking nonsense until I find something that I like.

I hope this helps! And once you figure out a good name, enjoy writing your fantasy!! 😀
