Naming Names

[hrj]

Worked on the name-set for the novel this evening. I've got a working list that I've rung the phonological changes on, although I want to do some tweaking to adjust the look-and-feel. Next step is to start matching up names for the current characters that need them (as well as for the known characters that haven't been introduced yet). Next up is place-names, noble titles, and forms of address for all possible combinations of rank, status, and formality of addressor and addressee. Then I'll be ready to do a serious revision pass on Part I.

Names matter: good to read about someone else worrying over feel.

Are there any good online resources to help with this process? It's just that once this first draft is finished, I need to do some serious world building for the new novel, including name generation. I have at least 3 countries/cultures and I want them to have a different feel.
