If you are writing a fantasy story or science fiction, you will have to name your characters but also fantasize about organizations, religions, races, philosophies, planets, galaxies, nations, and just about anything else you invent!
I cannot fetch you all Pictish names to use in your story, but my little guide may help you naming ideas, characters, places, and concepts.
1. One of the good ways to name something is to simply change one or two letters of a real or known Pictish name to create something new which is still recognizable, simple, and memorable.
For example, Sarah could become Saral and so forth; the name Jonathan could be Jolothan.
Here are some Pictish names examples you can try to change on your own:
Girom
Caustantín
Castantin
Uuirp
Áed
Dornornauch
Uerb
Dornornauch
Uid
Talorgan
Eoganan

Uurad
Nechtan
Melcon
Deoord
Bridei
Manath
Uurad
Giric
2. Most often fantasy names are usually deeply rooted in the culture and language they come from, like Pictish names.
For example, In Scottish, mac means “son of”. You may come up with some words that you use as prefix or suffix to convey some meaning and sprinkle it.
