Which of these names sound best?


Homebrew and House Rules


I've started working on a pantheon and wanted it to have a resonance that most fantasy names don't. So I tried a blend of Greek, Imperial Latin, Biblical Hebrew, Classical Arabic, Demotic Egyptian, Irish Gaelic, and Old Norse to come up with a list of names.

I'd like an opinion on which sound best, and which seem to go together. Preferably from people who don't speak any of the languages I mentioned above and thus have no preconceptions. Ch is always hard, like k. Almost all vowels are soft. Syllable stress is marked if not obvious. U is pronounced 'oo' and EU is pronounced 'yoo' unless otherwise noted.

Just like the way these sound though they don't all go together, probably from different cultures or species.
