I’d argue that there were hints, but perhaps not as obvious as Charr or Asuran naming. From reading the books, the names Faolain and Caithe alone gave me some pretty strong indication that I needed to look into some double vowel names.
I considered plenty of nice enough Irish or Welsh names, but ultimately went with an old myth favorite of mine which still fit pattern – Leuke
Leuke (or Leuce) was a white popular dryad, and basically Pluto’s wife before Persephone. Pretty good for my lady Necro, I thought. I was prepared to do ‘Leuke of the Cycle of Night’ or Leuke Nightbloom if I couldn’t get the first name alone, but luckily I chose my obscure Greek well and it didn’t come to that.
