Which name is better?

Question

Hey,

So I am creating a magical country and wanted your opinions. My people call themselves by a certain name which is what others call them. Which name sounds better. And they are good creatures.

1) Zervians

2) Jorvians

Some people like Zervian because they "serve good".

Answer 1

zervians because it sounds awesome

Answer 2

I think that considering it's supposed to be a magical country, I would go for Jorvians. Zervian sounds a bit common.  

Answer 3

Zerglings

Answer 4

2

Answer 5

I like Jorvians, but I think you should take out the R. Jovians

Answer 6

Totally Zervians. Jorvians may remind people of Jordan, and that would get people way confused and too many opions would be made.

Answer 7

"Zervian" sounds better on the ears.

But you might experiment with different first letters: for example, Kervian. The "Kervian Empire."  

Answer 8

In general, the softer sounding name, in this case Jovians, implies a greater likelihood of god. But you may not even want to hint at their character too early. Both are okay.  

Answer 9

Definitely Zervians...it flows and sounds more real. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 10

Zervians sounds better, but it also makes me think of Serbian - you know, like out by Yugoslavia? Maybe a blend of the two might work - Zorvians?

Hope this helps!  Good luck with your book!

Answer 11

Zervians

Answer 12

I like Zervians but I too would take out the R to make Zevians, pronounced Zee-vians.  Nice ideas.

Answer 13

... Truthfully, I kinda like the second one ... but either would really work.
