Okay. I'm trying to come up with a way to name the Selenthians and the dog folk. Hell, I need to give the dog folk their own race name, to begin with, but at any rate...

I know for certain that I don't want them to be names that humans have. They can be similar, but not letter for letter.

I also know that I seriously do not want anything like "Silverfang Fastfeet" or "Longhair Hardskull". That's right out.

So.

What do you think?

With the Selenthians I`ve created I took names that sounded "Right" for the 3 locations of their birth ( Scotland, India & Beleruse ) and tweaked them a little.
As for the dogfolk, as most canids operate in a pack, perhaps like the Japanese they would have their pack (family) name first? Perhaps as most Canids are very terratorial, the pack name would have something to do with a geological or topographic feature from their are of origin.."Westvale" or "Lowbrook"
As for a name for the dogfolk1s race as a whole, "Bythain" ?

Oh! They're Therians, the doggies are!

I`m becoming more & more interested in Therians, I recently purchased a book called "A field guide to Otherkin" and have had an interest in Animal spirits, totems and shapeshifters, both mythologicaland clinical lycanthropy for many years now.

Mmm. Lycanthropy!

If you ever get a chance a good text on the history of lycanthropy is "The Beast within" by Adam Douglas.
