So I really like a lot of your names, but yeah I think a few might need to be changed.
The Freelands is good, I don’t think you would need to change it unless you really felt you need to. It’s easy to remember, but not incredibly cliche which is really nice.
Wokenland is a good name, I just don’t know that it’s the best name for this particular place. It might be different in your story, but based on your description it just doesn’t seem to fit.
Princelandia probably needs to be changed.
Grayborn is alright! It fits well and it’s different! If you did end up changing it, my suggestion would be to find a different word besides gray to use. Replace it with a synonym.
The Rebels probably needs to be changed as well. It’s kinda a cliche name and like you said, it just doesn’t feel right.
I totally agree with you on The Frozen Stopwatch. I see how you got the name, but there’s probably a better choice. (I really hope I’m not sounding rude!)
I like Unity! That’s not a word you hear too often. You should keep it in my opinion.
One Master is alright, but you could probably think of something better.
The Blood Prince isn’t that bad. You could really go either way on that one.
Lana is good! I’ve always liked that name!
Prince Luc is very unique. I’ve never seen that spelling before, but the name it’s self is kind of ordinary. That is, if I’m pronouncing it correctly. Is it like Luke?
Noah is a really good name, and I like it but I do hear it a lot. With character names, you really have to go with personality. If you have this really big, tough dude you don’t want to give him a name like idk, Bubu. Unless, of course it’s comedy and you’re purposely trying to do that. For example, I have pirates in my fantasy and largest and scariest one is named Pete.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Courtney can stay or go. That one is common, but still uncommon if that makes any sense XD</p>
The Healer/The Judge/The Nurturer/The Preacher/ are all good as long as they are actually whatever their title is. For instance, you wouldn’t want The Healer going around poisoning people. (I know, Captain Obvious right?)
<p style=”text-align: left;”>So, I hope this helps! If you end up looking for different names for the people my most helpful tip would be to look up unique baby names. That’s how I get all my names and I’m pretty satisfied with them. If you need help or opinions on coming up with new things for anything else, just let me know and I’ll do what I can ;)</p>
