For the book I'm currently working on, the major factions will each have a different (real) region from which the characters' names originate. I have 9 of these factions, and have already decided for 2 of them, and have an idea for the rest. What are some cool cultures to draw names from? It doesn't matter what era it's in. At the moment I have an Edo period Japanese based culture, and a 16th century english based culture. I would like to have something that fits a nomadic culture as well, but didn't know what.
Remember: when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong. — Neil Gaiman
