The Science of Naming
Different genres have different phonetic rules.
- Fantasy names often use soft vowels and flowing consonants (L, R, S, Th) to sound ancient or magical.
- Sci-Fi names use harder consonants (X, Z, K, Q) to sound alien or technological.
- Modern names follow cultural trends and standard spelling rules.
