    Nebula:
    Any naming convention can be fine as long as you try to keep things consistent. You can have regional prefixes or endings show up a lot like maybe "Jel","bek","ton","tol", etc. Doing so creates the illusion that these regions have a shared historical culture and language. A real world example would be places ending with land or ton have a good chance of being English, places with berg or burg having Germanic origin and places ending in bad, dad, and bah sound Arabic. Obviously not even most settlements in that area would share that name but linguistic regions have names that sound appropriate with each other. I take great joy in creating original names myself so I try very much to avoid using names from elsewhere or if I do I alter them in a subtle way.
