[QUOTE="Ranes, post: 1794030, member: 4826"] Yep and I don't want my players laughing at me either. I'm no fan of Names No Human Tongue Can Say - that's what I was making fun of in my silly remark. But my players would imagine that I'd invented the goliaths, if I brought them into the game and, if I said that they called themselves goliaths, the players would think I hadn't put much effort into naming them. Gnome is a real word for something that doesn't exist (if you ignore the alternative meaning of maxim or aphorism, which most people wouldn't know anyway). What I want is a nonsense sound that sounds like a real word for something that could have come from a legend or myth but not a real name. Anyway, I'm glad it works for you, as is. And I share your disdain for the name Balor. Edit: Typos creeping in. Thanks for all your opinions and suggestions. I'll check back on this when I've had eight hours of uninterrupted rest. [/QUOTE]
