Comment on What do other languages use for "magic" words; or names and titles in fantasy and sci-fi novels or cinema?

I prefer those that are completely made up.

Iain M Banks uses very nice names, imho. Humanoids and drones all have a complete form that is very long.

E.g. Xide Hyrlis’ full name is Stafl-Lepoortsa Xide Ozoal Hyrlis dam Pappens

Not to speak of intelligent spacecraft who name themselves, e.g. Ethics Gradient or Serious Callers Only.

I could go on for hours.

Of course he must have taken inspiration from somewhere - no idea how or where.
