how do you find good names? Do you look for the celtic word/translation for their element or do you just find a name that sounds like it fits the character within the celtic theme?

Normally I go to google translate with a list of words that describe the character both physically and personally, if I have a rough idea of their personality. Make the list around 4-7 different words, and look up each word in Irish (or any language under the celtic umbrella I just tend to lean more towards Irish). When I’ve translated each word roughly, I look through them and mash up bits and pieces until they make a name that sounds pleasing. 

Granted, I do not speak irish/gaelic and it’s a betch to pronounce things the RIGHT way, and so if you really want to know what the words sound correctly, you can try looking up ‘how to pronounce’ things but really with Kuros it’s more ‘spelled how it’s pronounced’ kind of way.

Also looking up irish/celtic folklore can help to! A lot of the Gods share names with celtic deities with similar elements 😀

I hope that helps!
