Naming Fourth Edition

[Khuxan]

There's been a lot of complaints about the names used in Fourth Edition - stuff like Feywild, Dragonborn, Shadow Fell and Eladrin. My question to those that don't like the names is: what names do you like? How should game designers come up with new fantasy names?

How would you name:
A wild, faerie plane?
The descendents of dragons?
The plane where dead souls go?
The fey inhabitants of the Feywild?

Shadowfell is one word, not two; and I like it.

I may rename Dragonborn, but I don't dislike it. I like most of the names actually, with the exception of those horrible wizarding philosophies. Emerald Frost. shudder
