What Makes a Great Zora Name?
Water. Flow. Music. Keep it soft, bright, and fluid.
- Liquid sounds + open vowels
Lots of l, r, n, s, sh with a/e/i/o/u for a wave-like cadence.
Examples: Neri, Riva, Luma, Sela, Vira. - Ocean-and-river surnames
Use sea motifs for lineage and role.
Examples: Waveglider, Tidewhisper, Pearlglow, Reefwatch, Currentkeeper. - Short vs. long
Short for dialogue and UI; longer first–last for lore, clans, and court titles. - Canon-neutral
No direct references to named characters or places from the games.
