Any good mythical names?
I'm writing a fantasy book and I'm tired of banging my head on my desk and ripping my hair out thinking of names. Any ideas? My book has fairies, dragons, griffins, witches, the works. It's not a dumb story that has princesses and kings and etc. but dabbles in the magic of our world today. Sorry I can't explain it all because it's a very meandrous plot that would be hard to interpret to you right at this moment. Please help.
thanks

Try ancient Greek, Arabic and Hebrew names. They are quite unusual for fantasy(most writers use celtic names). Also, names from Shakespeare's books.
I can suggest you some particular Greek names, because I come from Greece myself and I've read a lot of mythology. When I need to find names, I just grab my books and search=) I think very nice examples are:(feminine) Pasifae, Polyhymnia, Cassiopeia, Antiope, Evadne and Iphigenia and (masculine) Cadmus, Glaucus, Iphicles, Pelasgus and Hyperion.
