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 somali 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 somali 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 somali names examples you can try to change on your own:
Warsame
Dayax
Samaan
Janaalle
Sooyaan
Sade
Urur
Janogalle
Liibaan
Inshaar
Carro
Maandeeq
Sahwiyo
Maceey
Culimmo
Beegsan
Bilan
Shacni
Wacan
Tawllan
2. Most often fantasy names are usually deeply rooted in the culture and language they come from, like somali 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.
Check out these somali name and try to put some prefix or suffix with them:
Cidey
Qamaan
Muruxo
Ishaar
Wardi
Sacad
Yabaal
Jeylaani
Sharmaake
Jaafi
Toolmoon
Faaiso
Markabo
Ugbaad
Rakuubo
Fariido
Siteey
Foos
Raaqiyo
Arraweello
3. Consider the prevailing beliefs; philosophical and religious beliefs of the character you are looking a name for.
For example, Christians name their kids after saints, as Paul and Mathew.
The following are some somali names to help you out:
Beerlula
Hiddo
Duniyo
Asiili
Raalliyo

Gobey
Sundus

Quulle
Dhiid
Food
Gurxan
Jaamac
Xiireey
Carays
Urur

4. Robotic characters will not have names that are culturally related or derived.
They can be anything you choose to say, such as:
Baaruud
Boosteeyo
Afraxo
Saxansaxo
Jeegaan
Sarreeyo
Wacan
Beyruud
Muxubo
Qoordheer
Buulle
Dhalad
Salaad
Geedi
Tiifoow
Xidig
Buule
Ciiro

5. If you are naming a place, rather than people, you should know that often places are named after people.
It is also common to name public buildings on the name of history heroes, people who made them, or some important personality who once visited them.
