Wonder Naming Conventions

Old Scandinavian, Norse, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Danish

Examples: Sigurd, Embla, Angrboda, Taki, Sunnifa, Asbjørn, Ingvar, Lykke, Mikkel, Njord, Ragnhilde

Reasoning: There are some Norse elements of the Look & Feel, and the simple and hand-wrought living of the people in The Wonder is more inspired by the magical influences that shaped their nation from nothing than the outside nations that neighbours it. Norse and Scandinavian names highlight this difference and separation from the rest of the Crownlands, where they have forged their own path.

Surname Options: The Wonder’s surnames usually involve the words “the” or “of the” as a preposition, either referencing the biome the character is from or some task that the character does there. Whole groups often share the same surname if they have the same place of origin, as many biomes require similar tasks to be undertaken regularly as a community to continue upkeep of the symbiotic relationship with the forests.
For example – “Sigurd of the Redwood” “Taki the Green-Willow”, “Njord the Rosetender”, “Ragnhilde of the Gleaming Boughs”
