Hi everyone,

I’ve been debating whether simple or complex fantasy male names work better in long-form stories. Short fantasy male names are easy to remember, but longer ones can feel more epic. When creating fantasy male names , do you consider reader fatigue? I’ve noticed that too many elaborate fantasy male names can slow down reading.

How do you strike a balance when developing fantasy male names for major and minor characters? I’d appreciate insight from anyone who has tested different fantasy male names styles.
