HelpHere's a challenge: make up a name with the meaning "sea of clouds in moonlight"
I wasn't sure if this would be appropriate for the Games or Opinions board, so I posted it on both.
The rules of the challenge are simple: using Google Translate or another online translator, type the prompt (in this case, "sea of clouds in moonlight") into each language until you find a result that could be reasonably sculpted into a name.
For example, the Maori result would be "moana o kapua i te marama." Obviously, it's too long in its given state, but we could shorten it using all the important elements. Just keep going like that until you find one that seems satisfying. There's a catch, though: the result cannot be available in the BtN database, submitted or otherwise.
Have fun! Remember, the prompt is "sea of clouds in moonlight." Translate it into each language until you find a result that could be made into a name -- you will probably need to shorten it, for clarity's sake.
(I came up with this idea in a daydream earlier -- it's a bit unusual, but I hope y'all enjoy.)

I have no idea if I've accidentally scrambled up something very offensive, I just took syllables and mashed them together
Marnuluza (Spanish)
Morlunina (Bulgarian)
Thalsyniou (Greek)
Tsukiakai (Japanese)
Kaimalahina (Hawaiian)
Skyhajósi (Icelandic) (oh but this is fun, I reverse translated this creation and it apparently means "cloudburst")

Oh, that's interesting! I love that you came up with a real word. "Cloudburst" is certainly a fun meaning.
(I did some more research and found out Thalsyniou means "seafood," Tsukiakai means "moon red" and Kaimalahina means "young man.")

Wow, I'm so good at accidentally finding real words in other languages!
Okay, this is fun :)
I got "lusin" for "moon", "moana" for "ocean", "kapua" for "cloud", "mor" for "sea", "si" for "ocean", "ay" for "moon", "nila" for "moon" and "leru" for "moon" as well as "luz" and "lux" for "light".
Okay, so the "si" for "ocean" and "lusin" for "moon" as well as the "lu" in "lux, luz" overlap. So I just need "cloud"
Kapualusine
Kapualusina
Or trying to mash them up further:
Lukasine
Lukasina
Kalusina
Kaualuna
Kapualuna
Lunaka
I found "lilikpo" for cloud, so let's try that with the "lusin" part:
Lilusine
Lilusina
Lulisina
I think Lilusine is probably the best I can do haha. She can go by Lilu, which I love (prefer Lilou).

Not all of them are pretty, but I tried to include most of the original important elements
Italian- Marchialuna
French -Mernuacluna
Krio: -Siweklawdishayn
Serbian -Morblakamesc
Scottish gaelic -Muirsoleach
Romanian - Manumlunia
Iloko -Baydabu
Portuguese -Marnulua
Here are some combos that are loosely related to the meaning:
Moana Mixtli Ayla
Mira Nephele Chantrea
Uju Houa Ayla
Italian- Marchialuna
French -Mernuacluna
Krio: -Siweklawdishayn
Serbian -Morblakamesc
Scottish gaelic -Muirsoleach
Romanian - Manumlunia
Iloko -Baydabu
Portuguese -Marnulua
Here are some combos that are loosely related to the meaning:
Moana Mixtli Ayla
Mira Nephele Chantrea
Uju Houa Ayla
I applaud the effort. Marchialuna is beautiful! I'm tempted to add it to the database, but I have no evidence it's a real name.
With some smooshing/butchering of these languages:
Mardeluna / Mardeluz (Spanish)
Hodeitsasoa Argitan (Basque)
Marilum Delaluna / Marilumde Laluna (Catalan)
Cām̐dērālōẏa Mēghēra Samudra (Bangla)
Maredenori Luminalunii (Romanian)
Okunti Awọsanma Nioṣupa (Yoruba)
Sarny Gereldüülnii Dalai (Mongolian)
Could play around with condensing them further. Moonlight in Mongolian was transliterated as Sarny Gerel, and Hodei was a word name that is in BtN fyi.

I guess it's pretty fun to experiment, huh? But this is all hypothetical, of course. (The Bangla result is my personal favorite.)
