Abstract
This paper is an exploration of names and name giving processes within fantasy video game worlds. Starting with some basic theory of onomastics and word formation, the paper will also take the sociolinguistic aspect of name giving into consideration by exploring the relationship between names and the society that perceives them. Taking a few notable fantasy video games into consideration, this paper will explain the origin, structure, and meaning behind several fantastic names within these fictional worlds. The paper will also concentrate on the most prolific word formation process within this context – compounding. Lastly, the concept of sound symbolism will be studied, and its effects on the protagonist-antagonist relations in the storytelling process. Thus will this study, through sound symbolism, be able to explain the effect of subtle connotations, associations, preconceived concepts and even stereotypes that affect the perception of names and even name giving processes themselves.
