Okay.
Here's what I want you to do.
I want you to take one word, and one word only. A word that flows off of the tongue, is mystifying, or may just represent a beautiful meaning. A beautiful word. Take that word, and make it sound name-ish by adding something to the end.
Here are some examples:
Obliviana (Oblivion)
Infinitique (Infinity)
Tantaliza (Tantalize)
Aerovyyn (Aero)
Rainesta (Rain)
...etc...
If you have trouble coming up with some words, here is a list of beautiful words:

Rules:
Well, seeing it's basically only one or two words,
I got nothin'.
Yeah, I know it's a sort of stupid idea, but I just wanted to see what you guys could come up with.
"May the force be with you" while "breaking a leg" in a "happy hunting" incident!
(For Dummies: That means "Good Luck"!)

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 25
- Rewards: Gold: 100, Silver: 50, Bronze: 20
- Final notes: Everyone did really great, and I found this harder to judge than a story! O.o
The names chosen were awesome, but I had to chisel it down to three, unfortunately.
Great job everyone, and congrats to the winners. Sorry if the prize isn't as magnificent as others, but it was all I had in my pocket at the time.
