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 basque 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 basque 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 basque names examples you can try to change on your own:
Engrazia Abaroechevarria
Ertxeta Juanco
Oria Mayora
Zumaia Juangorri
Karitate Carunaga
Fernanda Arriguenaga
Keperiñe Garbi
Peru Laricano
Urdaiaga Alemanea
Klodin Urquiola
Tirtsa Bustinduy
Araia Asuaga
Io Anguiomandarro
Ozeano Aytaberro
Naiare Labauria
Josefa Curutchague
Artitza Burumendi
Emilia Aranzazugotia
Amalur Amescoa
Joanitza Gallarrague
2. Most often fantasy names are usually deeply rooted in the culture and language they come from, like basque 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 basque name and try to put some prefix or suffix with them:
Bera Arraido
Otzaurte Gayoneche
Markele Moja
Marti Echano
Legaire Arreategui
Oskia Aginaza
Tarkino Equisoain

Juliana Irisibar
Zuzen Iputza
Beatasis Amunizaga
Kalipso Urquiri
Lama Udaquiola
Alesandere Ibarzabal
Marigabon Zarraonaindia
Izarraitz Zubileta
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 basque names to help you out:
Illare Errecoundo
Alba Echeverria
Arbogasto Vildosolo
Iriñuela Negueloa
Andreumea Migueltorena
Ahuña Astuy
Erlaitz Endoy
Malderra Zamarbide
Marioitz Igarategui

Antselme Larricoechea
Faustina Olavegoitia
Atsege Egoaburu
Andoliñe Larezgoitia
Eolo Alorburu
Zuhatzola Resuma
Nafarra Leiva
Emanuela Etchecoin
4. Robotic characters will not have names that are culturally related or derived.
They can be anything you choose to say, such as:
Matiena Lasquibar
Koriolano Aizpeurrutia
Veronika Etchevere
Markesa Otchoa
Saturene Lartun
Protagoras Zuari
Antziñasko Etchenaussy

Ele Damborinena
Teperua Urquinaona

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.
