How to Create Your Own Sumerian Names

Have you ever tried coming up with a good name for a character in your favorite book series? If you’re like, me, then you’ve probably spent hours trying to come up with a good name, but you still end up with the same boring name every time.

I’m here to help you with that problem. I’ve collected some Sumerian Names from different sources, including novels, movies and comics, which you can use to come up with a name for your characters in your favorite book series.

Here are some tips to create simple and unique names

Keep it Short and Simple

Have you ever tried to come up with a name for a character in a roleplaying game? If so, you know how hard it can be. You begin with a pile of names and eventually you find one that you like, but getting it right the first time is a challenge.

This is because they are long and boring names. You should find names that are short and simple.

Here is a list of short and clever names.

Namazu
Hulla
An
Dumuzi
Dumuzid
Enki
Enlil
Ereshkigal
Gilgamesh
Inanna
Ishkur

It’s a pain to have a long, unwieldy name. You can’t just be Kaitlin or Jane or Taryn. You need something that is specific and not too common.

Make it memorable.

Sumerian Names that are short and sweet are usually memorable too. To make a name memorable, make sure it is easy to understand and say aloud. When a name is easy to understand, it automatically fits in the sub-conscious mind of people and thus cratering a memory in their mind.

To come to know whether your selected name is memorable or not, say it a few times loudly and you will come to know if it’s memorable or not.

Avoid Difficult Names

Some names are creative but difficult to understand and memorize. Although they looks cool, they should be ignored. This is because they aren’t memorable. People try to avoid all the names that include hard to spell words.

Here are some examples of easy inspiring names.

Ki
Lugalbanda
Nanaya
Nanna
Ningal
Ninhursag
Ninlil
Ninsumun
Ninsun
Ninurta
Utu

When a name has hard to understand and memorize words, it becomes quite impossible for the audience to understand it.
