What should a fantasy island name suggest?

A good fantasy island name should hint at isolation, magic, danger, treasure, weather, ruins, or the creature or culture that makes the island worth mapping.

Where do fantasy island names fit best?

Use them for archipelagos, pirate routes, lost kingdoms, sacred coves, monster lairs, campaign maps, or the one island every sailor warns people about.

How can an island name help a map feel real?

Match the name to a feature on the map: reefs, cliffs, pearl beds, fog banks, volcanoes, ruins, or a dangerous channel. Geography makes the fantasy easier to believe.
